Talent Attraction
Most employers focus on newspaper ads and job boards to attract talent. The ads and postings typically focus on attracting individuals with experience in the employer’s industry. While this approach can yield satisfactory candidates, there is an alternative approach that can produce better results long term.
Historically, employers have focused on hiring people with experience in their industry. To improve performance, employers should consider applicants without industry experience, but who show a demonstrated ability to be successful in the job for which they are applying. The best way to determine whether a candidate has the traits to be successful in a job is to use job fit testing. Job fit testing, in conjunction with a benchmark representing top performers in a particular job category can help select new talent that has the abilities necessary to succeed under your unique management style, compensation plan and targeted marketplace.
