🌟 Trusting in Recruitment: A Hemingway Perspective 🌟 "The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them." - Ernest Hemingway In the dynamic world of recruitment, these words from Ernest Hemingway take on a profound meaning. As hiring professionals, we often navigate the delicate balance of evaluating candidates and checking references. However, Hemingway's wisdom encourages us to ponder a different approach. It's not just about resumes; it's about recognizing potential and shared values. Let's integrate trust into our hiring practices, building bridges for open communication and success. Communication is the key towards a win-win partnership. Let's do it together ! 📞 : 0497/49.82.86 📧 : Patrick@gentis.com #recruitment #trust #professionaldevelopment

Reflections on Jury Service: The Importance of Looking Beyond First Impressions During the last couple of weeks I had the privilege of serving on a jury. Fair to say it was a challenging journey - enlightening, learning, tiring, emotional, fulfilling, with so many take-aways about communication, listening, team-work, inter-generational collaboration - so much stuff! From a work perspective it underscored a fundamental truth: first impressions can be misleading, and decisions have to be based on facts and as thorough an understanding of the individual's character and actions as is possible to achieve. This experience has reinforced my belief in the importance of rigorous testing and profiling before making decisions in hiring new employees. Here are a few key takeaways: 🔍 First Impressions Aren't Everything: Just as in the courtroom, in the hiring process, initial impressions can be superficial. It's essential to dig deeper and gather comprehensive information about a candidate’s skills, experiences, and character. 📊 Evidence-Based Decisions: Effective hiring decisions should be based on concrete evidence, not just gut feelings. Utilizing assessments and profiling tools can provide a clearer picture of a candidate’s suitability for the role. 🛠️ Thorough Testing and Profiling: By incorporating robust testing and profiling methods, we can better understand a candidate’s potential, work style, and how they might fit into the team and company culture. 🌟 Investing in the Right Fit: A thorough hiring process ensures that we invest in the right individuals who will contribute positively to our organization’s success. Serving on a jury has been a powerful reminder of the value of patience, thoroughness, and impartiality. If you are moving forward in investing in new hires and you want to commit to looking beyond first impressions and making well-informed decisions that benefit both the individual and the organization, let's talk!

Something I’ve learned through my most recent rounds of interviewing: Never underestimate your worth. It's important to remember that you're compensated for the value you deliver. Misallocation of resources—whether in unnecessary infrastructure or redundant equipment—while neglecting fair compensation for your top talent is unacceptable. If a company cannot afford you, that isn’t a problem for you to solve for them by making yourself smaller. There will always be another company that manages their money properly and will pay you what you’re worth. Remember, you bring unique skills and experience to the table that deserve to be compensated fairly. Don't settle for less than you deserve. #careeradvice #jobsearch #knowyourworth

This month, the team at Baem Leadership is focused on helping organizations improve their recruiting and hiring practices by making these more inclusive to First-Generation Professionals (FGPs). This is deeply personal to me. I can't tell you how many times I've looked at a job description and felt that I had all of the right skills for the role, but didn't know the best way to communicate my experience and strengths. Or the times I've gone in for an interview and felt uneasy about the questions being asked. I know that if this is what I've experienced, then thousands of other FGPs have experienced it, too. This week, we published an article about asking more inclusive interview questions. You can read it using this link, and stay tuned for more content on inclusive hiring practices later this month! https://lnkd.in/eWdpHZZ2 #firstgenerationprofessionals #hiring #recruiting #interview

Albert Liu, HR Business Partner at Kellanova, offers valuable insights on how candidates can distinguish themselves in the job application process. He emphasizes the significance of punctuality, suggesting that arriving 30 minutes before the scheduled interview can be a game-changer. This not only demonstrates professionalism but also allows candidates to compose themselves, gather their thoughts, and potentially engage in informal networking with the staff. Such proactive behavior showcases dedication and eagerness, leaving a lasting impression on the hiring team. 👉 Full Youtube Link: https://lnkd.in/e_jWnHhA
