How to Run an Effective Interview Process

How to Run an Effective Interview Process So far we’ve discussed the overall recruitment process and the role a recruiter should play in the process. In this post I’ll give an overview of what businesses should be considering going into a recruitment process and in turn how to maximise what they get out of said process. Goal of the Process Job Description; Interview Process, Feedback and Testing; Goal of the interview process The goal of most recruitment processes and in turn, the interview process are usually very similar: Identify the best person for a specific position; Evaluate candidates against a set of technical and behavioural criteria to remove as much uncertainty as possible; Make an informed hiring decision that will be the best fit for the specific role, overall business culture and the future employee; I’ll go into a little more detail on each in the sections below however thought it worthwhile highlighting at the start. Job Description From a hiring manager’s point of view a job description is very much like a cheat sheet in a timed exam at university. That is, it is the process of putting the job description together that yields the most benefit, rather than necessarily the end document. Writing everything down and challenging each point is a great way to work out: What experience is absolutely essential for this position? What would be great to have, but could live without if the candidate is strong in other areas? What would be nice to have? From a candidate’s point of view, it helps them: Understand what the job is and where it fits into the business; Identify potential areas of concern in their own experience; Identify growth potential within the job; Decide if they really want the job; Most importantly, a job description allows you to, at least, start meeting the first two goals of the interview process. One other point on writing a good job description is to consider your target audience. If the perfect candidate was reading it and knew nothing else about the position apart from what is included in the description, would they think it was a good opportunity? Interview Process, Feedback and Testing Unless you are recruiting a short term temporary position, my view is that for the majority of roles, running at least a 2 stage process is a good idea, and where possible have those interviews with a gap of a few days. Putting space between the first interview and either an offer or a second interview is much like a cooling off period when you buy a car or a house. It gives everyone the opportunity to get comfortable with the decision and reduces any associated buyer remorse. Moving on. To minimise the impact if someone turns down a job offer, you always want to have 2 or 3 people at different stages of the process that you can see yourself hiring. At each stage of the process, be that one or more interviews, you really need to: Assess candidate’s technical capability; Assess candidate’s organisational fit; Present candidates with the training and development opportunities of working for your business; Give candidates an insight into the working culture within the business; Good candidates are in high demand so, if the place your work looks less like Google and more like a small accounting firm, you need to spend time making sure candidates know all the great things about working for your business and why it is better than the next best available alternative. By the end of each round of interviews you should have a clearer idea of: Whether you could hire someone; What concerns, if any, you have about each candidate so you know what to focus on in future interviews; What is equally important in the initial stages of a process is to relay timely feedback on to candidates regardless of if you are progressing with them or not, for the following reasons: Candidates who are exiting the process have set aside a considerable amount of time to meet you and giving them something to take away from the process will help ensure they exit with a positive impression of you and the business; Candidates who are progressing will make an effort to address the areas of concern and will alert you to experience they may have otherwise thought irrelevant; Giving candidates the opportunity to address areas of concern will give you more information to make a decision and in turn greater confidence in your hiring decision; Psych testing is becoming more and more common and is done for a few different reasons: Personality test â€" to help determine the best management style for people; Numerical / verbal reasoning â€" helps hiring manager understand candidates problem solving ability; There are others however those are the main ones. Most businesses will complete the test at the end of a process to help understand how to best manage a future employee.  For other businesses, performance on these tests are an excellent indicator of job performance so form a crucial part of the process. If it is the former it is best to complete the test at the end of the process because you have for all intents and purposes made your decision.  If it is the latter, save yourself some time and find a short, inexpensive test that you can put all candidates through with whom you are interested in meeting. One final point is that if you are working for a less known business or if you are recruiting a junior position it is worthwhile considering getting candidates to meet 1 or 2 peer level staff to give them a better feel for the culture. By having clear goals for each stage of the interview process, providing feedback throughout, allowing some time for people to properly evaluate the opportunity and running relevant tests at the right time you will: Give yourself the best chance of hiring the right person for the right position as well as minimise the chances someone will accept a job which they will resign from after 6 months.

Where is LinkedIn Heading to in the Future

Where is LinkedIn Heading to in the Future LinkedIn has become a major staple of our daily professional  life. As recruiters and HR professionals, its essentially where we hang out. It has become the place for us to connect with other professionals, as well as a place to help candidates find their dream job. A year on from Microsofts $26.2 billion purchase of the company, we have to ask where is the platform now heading?   Lets ask our panel of experts! Jonathan Kestenbaum With Microsoft’s acquisition of LinkedIn, I think Microsoft is well positioned to create proprietary access in their Dynamics ATS. Separately, the other things we see in the market is that candidates are moving away from LinkedIn to niche Social Networks, like TrueUp, Github and Dribbble. Jonathan Kestenbaum, Executive Director, Talent Tech Labs Cheryl Cran LinkedIn will continue to be relevant in regards to recruitment and will focus on algorithms and AI to increase value for potential employers looking for talent. Cheryl Cran, CEO Future of Work Expert, Synthesis at Work Inc Nathan Perrott With Microsoft now owning LinkedIn, it’s integration into Office 365 (specifically as an Outlook plugin) could be a really useful tool, helping you instantly learn more about the person you’re talking with, be it a colleague, client or prospect. But I personally think it’s usage in learning and development is its greatest ace card (Lynda.com content plus using LinkedIn’s big data to understand and map what makes people successful in their careers). And with retention and internal mobility higher on employers’ radars with the skills shortage challenges, this could be a huge focus. Nathan Perrott, Director of Digital Marketing Strategy, AIA Worldwide Adam Glassman LinkedIn has built a massive database containing a wealth of information on much of the employable workforce. Their future will be determined by what Microsoft wants to do with that database, of course. I see them expanding their content creation model, as well as their workforce education (through their Lynda training). I also see LI making a concerted push to expand in global markets, as well as the hourly workforce. Adam Glassman, Recruitment Strategies Manager, Alorica Hung Lee LinkedIn’s direction of travel is fairly clear they are going to be the data layer for Microsoft Dynamics. The combination of Microsoft’s dominance of the enterprise with native products like Office Suite, Outlook and acquisitions of communication / collaboration tools like Skype, Yammer and now LinkedIn will lead to an attempt to own sales and hiring and LD in the enterprise. It’s exciting times in the world of work both Microsoft and Google have aggressively entered the space and are playing for all the marbles both are aiming to create complete eco-system, cradle-to-grave recruiting solutions. Hung Lee, CEO, WorkShape.io Chris Russell Linkedin will continue to be integrated into the Microsoft world. From Skype to Office, LinkedIn profiles will become embedded throughout their ecosystem. This should lead to future growth and probably more expensive licenses. Chris Russell, Managing Director, RecTech Media Bryan Chaney At Indeed, we stay laser focused on helping the jobseeker with their search, as well as free tools to understand the culture and employee experience of companies that are hiring, so they can make informed career decisions. Don’t get me wrong, understanding the recruiting landscape is important, but everything else is secondary to our mission. Bryan Chaney, Director of Employer Brand, Indeed

Three Mini Ways to Spend Your Time - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Three Mini Ways to Spend Your Time - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career The Intersection of People and Process What do you do when you find yourself with a few minutes of downtime? Where downtime can be anything from waiting in line for something, waiting for a meeting to start or just being out and about on any given day. Most people these days point their heads at their electronic devices. It doesn’t have to be that way. You can take these mini moments and put them to good use. With a little planning and forethought your mini-moments can lead to maxi-returns. How often have you walked into a room â€" whether it’s at the office, at a store or even at your home and found everyone with their heads down and focused on the electronic devices in their hands? There is nothing wrong with using your eDevices. Just make sure that’s the best way to spend your mini moments. I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions. ~ Stephen Covey Three Mini Ways to Spend your Time Read, Write, Rest These are three really simple ways to spend your time. They can be consumed in small bite sized chunks. Which is why I’m calling them Mini Ways and Mini Moments. They can be ad hoc and just pop up somewhat randomly. Or they can be designated and dedicated times you have created for yourself. There is no wrong way to organize your Mini Ways to spend your time. Just make sure you find the time at least a few times a day. Your brain, your body and your future self will appreciate it. Read, Write, Rest That’s it! Use your time gaps to Read, Write or Rest. Perhaps all three. In a few minutes you can jot down the beginning of an idea you want to flesh out later. In a few minutes you can read an article you have been putting off. In a few minutes you can grab a much needed break. Soak it in! It’s ok to stop, look around and just soak in the moment. Be Future Focused When you do make the time to plan for Read, Write and Rest periods you are being future focused. Studies have shown that people who are better oriented to time do significantly better on tests and in business. Have a plan. Be persistent. Your success depends upon it. Ideally, you will set time on your calendar for downtime. Then you can make a concerted effort to Read, Write and Rest. The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing. ~ Stephen Covey When you do you will find that things flow more seamlessly together because you aren’t constantly running from one task to another. Perhaps doing both task  with less than your best effort. Multiplied by all the tasks on your plate at any given time.  When you do you will find that you can rise above the crowd because you will be able to see things more clearly. You will be able to decide, decipher and decode the underlying demands of situations more effectively. You will also stand out in your career because of your ability to stay above the fray, to see holes where there were none before, and to be able to get more done. All because you set the time aside to focus on what matters. Bonus Fourth Mini Way to Spend Your Time Listen â€" You can learn a lot by listening. Everyone has many ways to spend their days. I’m suggesting you find a few mini ways to spend yours.

The 5 Key Reasons Some Start-Up Recruiters Fail

The 5 Key Reasons Some Start-Up Recruiters Fail So many recruitment professionals dream of starting up on their own, and the fact is that so many of them fail. Not all of them, by any means, but many don’t survive after the first year. It’s impossible, and wrong, to generalize but Paul Mizen, Managing Director of The Recruit Venture Group has the experience and insight to identify five of the reasons why the dream doesn’t come true for a significant percentage of would be recruitment entrepreneurs. 1.  It’s not a thing to do as a career change It sounds almost unbelievable but some recruitment start-ups are not launched by recruitment professionals. Having a craving to ‘try something different’ and telling yourself that ‘you’ve seen how recruitment works because you’ve done a lot of interviews’ is a sure-fire recipe for disaster. The fact is you need to know about the recruitment business. You need to know how it operates, you need contacts and you need real hands-on experience. Without those, you’ll fail. 2. Lack of finance and all that goes with it Who would start a business, any business, without sound finances? Starting a recruitment business needs financing at the outset, but it goes deeper than a need for a capital injection to rent an office, buy the hardware and sort a company car. The recruitment sector makes strenuous demands on cash flow, so having guidance and support is just as important as the upfront investment. Too many recruitment start-ups get up and running and then stretch themselves too far, too quickly. There are going to be a lot of outgoings before the income appears. Twelve months of getting that balance wrong usually tips the scales the wrong way. 3. Forgetting that it’s a two-way street It’s another vital balancing act. Going all out to attract clients is commendable, but it’s really short sighted if you haven’t pulled in candidates too. There has to be an offer and in the recruitment business what you offer is the right candidate for the role. It doesn’t matter if you’re delivering dozens of temps or that single CEO designate, you have to have a candidate pool as well as the clients who want them. Failing to acknowledge the two street is a one-way route to failing 4. Inappropriate infrastructure Building the two-way street, like any street,  is about infrastructure. If the game plan is to be a bedroom recruiter then a minimum of hardware and software will get you by. But even in that scenario a second-hand laptop and an out of date spreadsheet won’t cut it. If the sights are set higher then there’s a need for full-on, industry standard, systems. Asking a mate to sort some software may seem cost-effective, but it will prove totally ineffective. Without the right, relevant, systems the administration of cv’s, applications, job specs, person specs and all the financial controls will spiral out of control. 5. Failing to plan for life A start-up recruitment business is a demanding beast. The last thing a new boss needs is a pile of worry over domestic issues. A good business plan should embrace proper remuneration for the entrepreneur. It’s not about plundering the business for cash because now it’s ‘your show’  and ‘at last, you’re getting the rewards you deserve’. It’s about ensuring that the budget allows you to draw a sensible salary, to cover your expenses and maintain your lifestyle. Take out too much too soon, and you fail. Take out nothing until the big money comes in and you’ll drown in personal bills and mortgage arrears. Which means you’ll take your eye off the ball, and you’ll fail. In short, recruitment start-ups often fail because of inexperience, poor financing, not having candidates as well as clients, having inadequate systems and not having a fully thought through plan. It’s not a guarantee but implementing the opposites to all of those represents a very fair chance of success. About the Author:  Paul Mizen is Managing Director of the Recruit Venture Group, the largest venture partner of their kind in the UK.

With Marc’s help and insight, I’m starting to reframe the next steps in my career and tell my story in a new and better way.” Now on to the podcast… Download Link |iTunes|Stitcher Radio|Google Podcast|Podbean|TuneIn|Overcast [2:29] Mark Anthony Dyson says, “Engaging and informative. Big fan of this podcast as Marc takes us through many phases of the over-40 journey. Listen to his shows on moving to another country! … Marc will say he’s a recovering engineer only to let you know he is analytically inclined with a propensity to give you the truth with no chaser!” [3:04] Mark Anthony Dyson will be back to help Marc with another QA session in the next month or so. [3:11] Marc has added links to the Career Pivot podcast for Podbean, Overcast and TuneIn so there are all kinds of places you can get this podcast. [3:21] Next week, Marc will be talking about his family’s next steps in moving to Mexico. Marc is recording this episode about six weeks into his current visit and he has a major announcement for listeners. He wants you to hear why the family is accelerating the process and the choices they are making. [3:42] This week, Marc presents part four of “Can Juan Repurpose His Career?” Juan is in his mid-fifties, a former school teacher, technology trainer, adjunct professor, and a multipotentialite. Juan is trying to figure out what is next. [3:59] If you have not listened to the first three parts of this series, please stop now and listen to Episode 83, Episode 84, and Episode 88. Find the reports used in this series at CareerPivot.com/Juan. You may pause the episode now to download the reports. [4:31] Juan was calling in from a hotel in Central America, so the audio is less than optimal. [4:43] Marc welcomes Juan to the third feedback session. Juan has been doing some homework. His assignment was to review three problems he solved at work and three problems he solved in his personal life to study his thought process. He comments on the insights he received from the reports. Juan deliberates over decisions and takes time when he can. [7:00] Juan says that under stress he will make a quick decision. He uses the example of his divorce as a quicker decision. On the job front, he makes sure he has a gig lined up before he leaves a job. [8:25] Marc and Juan look at the stress report. There are three sections in it. The sections are interpersonal relationships, schedules and details, and decision-making. The first page covers what you can do when you are under stress to get out of stress. [9:11] The interpersonal section shows Juan’s needs in self-consciousness and dealing with people. Juan likes to be respected and is an introvert. Juan reads a list of 10 needs that likely relate to him personally. [10:10] Juan needs respected titles and status, personalized benefits, criticism balanced by praise, genuine pats on the back, close individual ties, freedom from group pressures, special time to be alone, time to be quiet and think, individualized benefits, and a few close one-on-one friends. Juan picks the top four of this list. They all fit. [11:15] Each section contains 10 needs. Juan will consider them all and synthesize them down to his 10 most important needs. Then Juan will write a probing open-ended question for each need. Juan needs to know how to figure out if he will get them. He needs to know what to listen for. [11:55] At the bottom of the page are things Juan can do to avoid stress in these areas. Spend time with a special person, keep a list of your recent successes, do things you feel good about, have for casual exchanges with superiors, set aside quiet time, protect yourself from interruptions. Allocate one weekend a month for your significant other. [13:07] Prepare for holidays or hectic social periods by spending more time alone. Juan really relates to this one. Juan is already doing some of these. Marc relates to spending time alone as well, especially during the holidays. Marc doesn’t go to holiday parties. [14:45] On page 5 is the topic of managing needs for insistence and restlessness. Insistence is your need to have rules and structure. Juan is relatively high in insistence. Restlessness is your need for variety. Juan is average in restlessness. Juan needs the following items. [15:14] Organizational support, detailed instructions, steady, predictable income, clearly defined responsibilities, specific rules and policies, novelty and change in your day, frequent shifts in your activities, an independent work role, varied or complex work activities, and changes in the group or the scenery. [15:45] Novelty, an independent role, clearly defined responsibilities, changes in group or scenery stand out the most for Juan. The steady predictable income is what kept him on as a teacher, but he didn’t feel professionally respected. [16:42] Juan’s need for variety and for rules and structure contrast each other. [16:52] Juan reads tips to build resistance and avoid stress in these areas. Identify an important recurring task you do well and schedule time for that task at the beginning of a work period or cycle, schedule important tasks in a way that allows for interruptions but protects the important tasks. Establish your schedule in writing. [17:24] Set aside time every day to organize your thoughts and plan your day or to review the day’s progress and plan the next day. Build up a stockpile of small worthwhile projects to work on when you need a break from a boring task. [17:41] Develop schedules and time management habits that allow you to routinely work on or monitor several tasks every day. Keep variety and a sense of newness in your hobbies and social life. Avoid taking on home projects that will require you to do essentially the same tasks every day and night for months on end. [18:07] Marc stresses that Juan should pay attention to keeping variety and a sense of newness in his hobbies and social life. You can find enjoyment and a needed break in hobbies. Juan is spending time keeping on top of technology changes to keep current. His stockpile of small worthwhile projects is technology projects. [19:23] Juan keeps a variety and sense of newness by traveling, meeting new people and attending conferences. Juan agrees that he needs new challenging projects at home. Juan enjoys diving into ambiguity in his freelance and consulting work and seeing what’s new. [20:30] The next area is managing needs for physical energy and thought. A minimum of prolonged activity, stimulation of new ideas, friendly, low-key surroundings, time for reflection, unhurried work conditions, time to think decisions through, support from others on decisions, opportunities to talk out worries, and offers of assistance and help. [21:08] The last is cautious decision-making by others. Juan relates to the stimulation of new ideas, friendly, low-key surroundings, unhurried work conditions, support from others in decisions. Juan notes he is relocating out of state to a new low-key surrounding with minimal pressure. He does not want to work in a factory. [22:03] Juan wants support from others on decisions. He likes Marc’s writings, the community forum, Career Pivot. He appreciates the offers of assistance from others on the community forum. Juan looks to others who have made cautious decisions who have been inspirational in Juan’s pivoting. [22:38] To build resistance and avoid stress, Juan should plan schedules and projects taking time to stop and think about where he has been and where he is going, give more time to abstract or philosophical thought activities, and avoid taking on too many projects or social obligations when work is hectic. [23:03] Juan should develop a relaxing, low-key hobby or recreation and make use of the curative powers of this activity often. Build life goals and important plans carefully with thorough discussion from those close to him and advice from knowledgeable advisors. [23:24] Juan should develop close relations with patient and effective advisors who will reflect on his ideas with him and help him think carefully about important issues. Juan should keep abreast of major developments in his work area so he is ready to deal with issues they arise and have a good idea of where to go for assistance and information. [23:47] Juan should remind those close to him that he needs careful preparation before making a decision and elicit their support in developing several options to consider. [24:00] Juan is giving more time to philosophical thought and activities, such as exercise, yoga, meditation, healthy eating, avoiding things that would threaten his health. Juan is avoiding taking on too many projects as he has overwhelmed himself in the past. Juan is building life goals, working with Marc and others. [24:58] As technology in business is changing, Juan is staying abreast of issues like AI and how his field is affected. Juan says the report gives him a map to follow. [25:53] Marc assigns homework to Juan. Synthesize the 30 needs down to 10. Read a blog post Marc will send him about how to write open-ended questions; develop an open-ended question for each of the 10 needs and then know what he is listening for. [26:18] Marc assigns Juan to approach three people from his personal life and three people from his work life and ask them to give him three to five phrases that describe him. Marc expects there will be a difference between the people who know him from work and the people who know him more socially. Juan needs to look for the difference. [27:07] Juan shares with the audience that he is relocating abroad. He is inspired by Marc and Mrs. Miller and their experiences as well as the experiences of other friends who have moved to new areas. Juan is looking for a low-key, low-stress area to refresh and recharge. With no dependents and no home, it is easy for him to move. [28:28] Juan notes the impending healthcare disaster in the U.S. Juan sees a new future in San Jose, Costa Rica. He has met people from all over who expatriate there. He feels like he is in a new Paradise. [29:48] Marc thanks Juan for participating in this series and says people have told him how it has resonated with them. Juan thanks Marc for changing his life. [31:02] Marc says Juan is in the process of making some major decisions and working through the Career Pivot evaluation has been a real help to him. Juan was in the initial cohort of the Career Pivot Community website. [32:17] In a couple of weeks, Marc will be starting the next series, with “Can Sarah Repurpose Her Career?” Sarah (not her real name) is employed, a closet creative, and a structured anarchist. Sarah’s personality is quite interesting. [33:08] Check back next week, when Marc will be talking about their next steps in moving to Mexico. There will be a major announcement you will want to hear. Marc wants you to hear the reasons they are accelerating the process and the choices they are making.
