Selection Consulting

 

HiringForFit guides companies in selecting & hiring exceptional talent!

 

We are experts in selecting exceptional talent - especially, quality leaders that 'fit'. With our proprietary process utilizing a 13 Specific Targets, we guide our clients when they are hiring leadership roles in their company. Our approach is based on the premise of "Hiring for Fit".

Hiring is more than skills and experience! Skills and experience are important - absolutely, yes. Clients definitely need to hire qualified people - but the real long-term success of  a successful leader is the 'fit'. How many times have companies hired well qualified people only to have them not work out ... these candidates had the right skills and experience but didn't work out because they didn't 'fit'.

Our Selection Consulting is not executive search, or personality and psychometric testing. It is hand-on, direct client consultation and communication guiding our clients in hiring these exceptional leaders. Our consulting time is focused in this manner:  2/3 on the fit - 1/3 on the skills and experience.

 

Six Stage Approach

 

Our Selection Consulting Process is based on matching 13 Specific Targets between the prospective employee, the company and position. We unfold our process in six stages (see the flowchart on this page):

       1) HiringForFit Analysis 

       2) Hiring Profile

       3) Interviewing Guidance & Development

       4) Talent Evaluation

       5) Talent Selection

       6) New Hire Coaching and Assimilation

Take a moment and investigate our approach - if you think that that hiring for fit makes sense - then give a call.


First we have to answer the question - What is 'fit'?

 
'Fit' is the matching of the personal attributes, position qualifications and company culture of a prospective employee and the company.

Personal Atrributes - everyone already knows that people have personalities but they often don't stop to consider that companies have personalities, or their own company culture, as well. Matching the personality of the individual and personality/culture of the company is one of the most important aspects to hiring a new executive.

Company Culture - these are 'how' characteristics of a person. which include how someone builds relationships, how they are motivated and how they think. Once the culture of the company is determined, we need to focus on which attributes are important for the specific position. These attributes are innate to each individual - in other words they are not likely to change. Too often companies will try to 'develop' these attributes. To be direct - these attributes are not likely to change ... ever.

Position Qualifications - these are the skills, knowledge and experience, which most us alredy understand. Qualifications are learned traits. These are the easy things to appreciate and determine when hiring. Prospective candidates either have the required qualifications or they don't. There is one major difference between personality, attributes and qualifications ... people can learn new qualifications (skills, knowledge). However, they are not likely to change their personality or how they do things.
