Mile High Resumes…

Mile High Resumes…Positions Unfilled
If you are experiencing the ever growing stack of resumes and the lack of time and personnel to wade through…You’re Not Alone!!!.
Although hiring has not been as robust as in the past, there are still critical positions that remain open. In many cases for several months or greater. This may seem odd even with the talent available and the increased opportunity to poach from competitors, but companies are beginning to realize the importance of strategic hiring and the time commitment to do it right.
With the volume of resumes flowing through the door, it could take weeks to sort through the candidate pool. Time decision makers don’t have. Even with the time investment, hiring managers will not have the knowledge as to the true reason the candidate separated from their prior company, if they would be a fit, if they have the behavioral competencies and passion necessary for success, if the potential for conflict will jeopardize the existing team’s performance, etc… The result of these unknowns is indecision with a critical position remaining unfilled in a time when preparing for the economic recovery is prudent. This scenario is playing out throughout our industry as you read this newsletter.
To eliminate this uncertainty in the hiring process Capodice & Associates has developed the following:
A Comprehensive Background check detailing an individuals employment, credit, educational and criminal history.
An organizational matrix identifying the strengths and weakness of the team.
The core competencies and passions matrix of the potential hire.
An outline of the conflict that will occur between team members and how to successfully coach through issues.
An on-boarding schedule to ensure the success of the new hire and expedite “rap-up time”.
For additional information on how to eliminate uncertainty in the hiring process and increase long-term success, contact Peter Capodice at 941-906-1990 or email peter@capodice.com.
