Prepare a list of questions that tell you more there experience and aptitude.

  • Push your best candidates to grow even stronger.

Motivation revels itself as the selection process plays out. Never hire after one interview it takes several …

Strong recruiters thrive on analysing the middle of the pile- even if there is just one overlooked “Winner” in each stack of 50 “maybes” they find him or her. They widen the talent pool and never lower their standard. In their hands, the jagged resumes are not so hard to decode after all –

Here are some of their most powerful methods:

  • Compromise on experience; don’t compromise on character.

Be willing to embrace unconventional views of what skills are truly needed in each specific field.

  • Your own career is a template; use it.

 The best insights into candidate’s potential come from leaders whose own life experiences speak to the traits they are seeking.

  • Rely on auditions to see why people achieve the results they do.
When you watch a candidate in action you are not watching for a flash of brilliance you are hunting for dozens of clues that show how and why someone succeeds.
