Public relations firm Padilla, Spear, and Beardsley share their secrets for hiring employees.
The most important commodity of any company is the people that work for it. A human resource manager not only deals with one person, but needs to take into consideration everyone in the company, as well. Being a good human resource manager will enable you to motivate the employees and staff members of the company.
When Steve Ireland needed to fill the shoes of a ten-year veteran in a key role at his company, he knew he must act quickly. Yet the thought of replacing a decade of corporate knowledge from someone who had become the hub of the wheel seemed very difficult—to say the least.
As the owner of Core-rosion Products, a leading industrial sales rep organization in the southern California area, Steve was no expert at selection. So, he relied on his business and sales strategist, Brent
Patmos, a successful TTI Value Added Associate. Brent wasn’t sure he was a recruitment expert, but he knew he could depend on TTI to solve Steve’s personnel predicament. “I had just partnered with Solutions 4 Hiring because I strongly believe in their process and the parent company behind them. I know they are committed to me, so I felt confident in extending that commitment to my client,” Brent said.
Once Brent and the company’s key employees carefully considered the ideal candidate and determined the position’s key accountabilities, Steve felt relieved. “As a business owner, I simply put this concern aside because I knew Brent and the team at Perpetual Development would take care of it,” he said. Behind the scenes, the Solutions 4 Hiring team began recruiting candidates that met the education and
experience requirements as well as the job benchmark.
After receiving seven qualified applicants, Perpetual Development’s assessment specialist, Diana Wilson, coordinated several interviews and they decided that two candidates really stood out. Finally, Steve
selected Angela to join his team and quickly found she was the perfect fit.
Before long, Brent completed Angela’s 90-day follow-up, where Angela could not speak more highly of Steve and the team and environment at Core- rosion. She had developed an incredible rapport with the staff and had truly proven her place in the company. However, life changes soon tested her commitment to the company. Unexpectedly, Angela’s southern California commute went from 20 minutes
to 70 miles—a situation where a new home and a new job typically go hand in hand. Angela knew her career was worth it and made the adjustment without hesitation. Steve also made adjustments by
increasing her compensation to help offset gas prices and changing her schedule so she could spend less time on the road.
“Could my team at Perpetual Development have provided the solution to Steve’s employment challenge? Perhaps. Could we have done it as
effectively? No way!” Brent said, “Whether it is a large number of placements within one organization or an individual placement for a key position in the company, Solutions 4 Hiring has a large impact on
the effectiveness of the recruitment and selection process services we offer our clients.”
Solutions 4 Hiring is able to actively search for candidates with an impressive resume, but they do not stop there. The key is the assessment piece. It was the behaviors, values and personal skills that
provided the true insight and allowed Steve Ireland and Core-rosion Products to find someone that could not only fill big shoes in the company, but also develop a corporate connection that will withstand
even the toughest retention challenges.
For the last 30 years, I have observed organizations hiring people that were not the best candidate for the position to avoid any potential liability from an EEOC claim. There is nothing in the law that says you must hire an inferior candidate. The law simply states that you, and any of the systems you use, cannot discriminate against
the protected group(s).
This paper is not intended to provide you with a way to get around the law, but rather to provide you with a system for hiring that does not allow typical human biases to enter into the process. We all see the world from our own view; however, sometimes this view may not be in the best interest of the position or the organization.
