Beyond Job Descriptions: Building Candidate Success Profiles to Streamline Recruitment Decisions

You probably begin the hiring process with a job description. If they are kept up to date, these documents may tell us a lot about roles and responsibilities, but they tell us very little about the kind of person who is likely to succeed in the job.

You may get a better idea by asking hiring managers what they are looking for. But conflicting opinions and unstructured responses can end up making it even less clear.

This all creates a huge challenge for you, trying to match real people to job descriptions. If it is not absolutely clear what good looks like, how can you be expected to successfully source the right candidates?

In this webcast Charlie explores ways to establish candidate criteria — ways that are built on proven science, that go beyond experience and qualifications to articulate the personal characteristics that ensure your candidates will be a good fit for your company and for the role.

In this lively and impactful session Charlie will take you through the principles and practical examples that will help you to:

• Build Success Profiles that will streamline your recruitment activities
• Make recruitment decisions easier
• Establish consensus and set clear expectations of what good looks like
• Save yourself and your hiring managers a whole lot of time and aggravation
• Gain the cooperation and commitment of your hiring managers
• Bring the entire recruitment process under your control
