In this every changing world of technology and business, I find it interesting that so many companies are still hiring for key positions from a resume. I understand that you need to review their background and gather information before you actually have a face to face interview. What surprises me, is the process after the interview and the money that is spent to find the right fit.
According to a study completed by Robert Half (a staffing specialist firm), 36 percent of 1,400 executives surveyed said that the leading factor of a failed hire , besides from performance problems, is poor skills matching.
Skill matching is a key competency that should be and needs to be matched or you are just throwing your money out the window. According to a Career Builders survey 68% of hiring managers spend two minutes or less reviewing resumes. The interview question process can be only 15 – 30 minutes with an additional 10 minutes on small talk. So now at this point you think you know the person, their experience and possibly their 5 year plan and so on. So how does that information make them a great fit for the Managers position in your department?
Your organization is likely to consider its people as the most valuable asset. You realize that your employees create a competitive advantage and determine how successful the organization is and will be in the future. As a result, you want information to clearly understand what employee behaviors lead to success or failure. You also want to understand why you are losing valuable employees – in some cases to your competitors.
