🤔 Job interview - more than just a hiring process A job interview offers a company immense opportunities. While the primary goal is, of course, to understand candidates better and select the most suitable person for the role, the possibilities extend far beyond this. Broader Opportunities Include 👉 Creating Outstanding Experiences: Ensuring that every candidate has a positive experience can lead to future collaborations. A good interview experience is the foundation for this step. 👉 Showcasing Your Culture and Values: Use the interview to communicate your company’s culture, values, mission, and vision authentically. When we are sincere, authentic, and human, the message spreads effectively. 👉 Building Relationships: Candidates might become our customers, partners, or collaborators in the future. The interview is an opportunity to speak deeply about the company, how we operate, and what we stand for. 👉 Strengthening Employer Branding: Highlight your Employer Value Proposition (EVP) and reinforce your employer brand through every interaction. We miss many opportunities when we focus solely on the immediate impact related to a single job opening. #employerbranding #candidateexperience #companyculturematters #recruiting

Today, I conducted interviews for #Psyckitchen. As an interviewer with zero HR background in hiring and people management, I started to think about why we can’t land a dream job 🥲I believe I found some answers today. It's TRUE that HR typically spends only 5-10 seconds on a resume 📄 Even though we currently receive just 20+ resumes, I've found that we naturally dislike reading long documents. Your resume needs to convey who you are clearly at a glance. ✨ Interview Preparation: This is often overlooked but crucial. 📝 We need a clear mindset and structured approach to solving problems. When candidates face unexpected questions, they should provide a general framework and demonstrate critical thinking—such as breaking down the problem and defining a success matrix 💡 Valuing Personalities and Continuous Improvement: Interviews can be challenging, but personality and a commitment to continuous improvement are invaluable. 💪 We rarely find the unicorn and excels in all areas. Therefore, adaptability and the ability to thrive in new environments are crucial 🌟 As a new HR manager, these are some lessons I've learned today. I’ll refine the process and use these skills for my future job applicants😊 #HR #Interviews #Recruitment #CareerDevelopment

How to Select the Best Candidates in an Interview? 💡 In recruitment, it’s not enough to just find skilled candidates; we need to discover individuals who will make a real difference in the team. Here’s my unique approach to selecting the best: * Review the Resume 📄: The I focus on more than just past experiences. I look for ambitions and values that will help the candidate stand out in the future. *Innovative Questions 🎯: Using the STAR method, I assess how candidates react to challenges and solve real-life problems. *Psychological Assessment 🧠: I ask psychological questions to understand the candidate’s personality and mindset, such as: • How do you handle pressure? • How do you deal with disagreements within your team? * Align Skills with Job Requirement Requirement🔍: I ensure the candidate’s actual skills perfectly match the job requirements. * Effective Communication 💬: I look for candidates who can build strong relationships through excellent communication skills. * Cultural Fit with the Team 🤝: I believe cultural fit is the key to long-term success and team harmony. With this effective method, I ensure that I present candidates who can add real value and boost team performance. 🌟 #Recruitment #Innovation #TalentAcquisition #HR #CareerExcellence

Immediate Hiring, Immediate Silence? Have you experienced this? Before the interview: "Immediate hiring, can you join tomorrow?" After the interview: Complete silence. No feedback. Is this the new recruitment norm? #hiring #HR #interview #job #jobs #linkdin

This is an Open letter for all the HR professionals out there. Hiring is a difficult process, when HR brings in a candidate on behalf of them ensure that the candidate is getting a fair and square interview. I want to raise this issue due to my personal experience. My profile got selected by one of the HR of a reputed company and thanks to him that he arranged the interview in short notice. The interview was for a manager position and the interviewer was asking personal stuff and asked about the previous employer and the work I had done(just inside 5 minutes). he barely asked anything about the job skills, area of expertise and the knowledge areas in my current job and all. Felt the whole interview session like a small self introduction and he wound up the interview by saying he will review and get back to me. What will he review? he barely knows my strengths, pros and cons, he doesn't even know what roles/skills i can perform. The whole interview process felt more like a formality than to serve the purpose of the interview. So to all my HR connections out there please ensure that the candidate got a fair interview and try to do corrective actions in this regard. #HR #HIRING #JOBS #LINKEDIN

💡 TIP Tuesday HIRING PROCESS - I see this happen all the time, candidates are excited about a company and position, they are eager about the position! BUT from that first contact and excitement to getting initial feedback from the company can take a week, 10 days or even 2 weeks. By this time the candidate has followed up 2-3 times and the excitement fades. REMEBER THAT: 💡 Your interview process is part of your branding (this is another big topic) 💡 Good candidates never stay in the market for very long 💡 Your competitors are also interviewing and moving fast to snatch up these candidates 💡 From a branding perspective it seems like internal process take long and are potentially archaic 💡 Candidates think that you are not that interested in them - stay engaged with them! The TIP is, make sure you have a committed recruitment project timeline in the business for every open position. Share this with your recruitment team to manage candidates' expectations of the process. And of course, stick to that project timeline, this will allow a fantastic experience for everyone that is part of your recruitment projects. #evolveorrepeat #hiringprocess #hiring #recruitmentprocess #howtorecruit #recruiting #interviews #interviewtips #tiptuesday
