We keep saying that it’s so hard to find good people……. Are we asking ourselves if we are good people to work with? When I am conducting interviews, I get excited when I feel as though the potential new hire is interviewing me. This allows for an opportunity to understand what is important to them and if they took the time to research our organization…. It shows me the level of dedication and determination they could add to the team. I think sometimes we get defensive when potential candidates ask tough questions or puts us on the spot. Taking the time to highlight our culture, and making sure we can agree on expectations and mission statements is critical. No time than at the start to set expectations and boundaries. How do you all like to conduct interviews?

Ever wonder what the real objective behind a job interview is? It's not just about assessing knowledge, experience, or motivation. In fact, it's about much more than that. It's about understanding whether the candidate can effectively perform required tasks, seamlessly integrate into the team dynamic, and possess the potential for growth within the organization or on a personal level with their future supervisors. But here's the catch - while we ask candidates one set of questions, we're often seeking answers to a slightly different set of queries. This subconscious realization might be why we find ourselves scheduling multiple rounds of interviews, hoping to bridge the gap between what's asked and what we truly wish to uncover. Imagine a scenario where we had the ability to see candidates in action, in the very roles they aspire to fill, before making the hiring decision. How transformative could that be for our hiring process? Have you ever felt a disconnect between the questions asked in interviews and the insights you were actually seeking? How do you navigate this challenge to make informed hiring decisions?

🤔 As a Recruiter, have you ever wondered how many interviews you are willing to go on when applying for a job? 🎯 In my view, a sweet spot exists at around three to four interviews. - An initial meeting to break the ice, discussing goals and aspirations - A deep dive into professional subjects, showcasing your expertise - Connecting with the hiring manager to gauge future collaboration potential (and maybe another member of the team) 🧩 But then, why the marathon of meetings with folks you might not work closely with in the next six months? Or the endless assessments—psychotype, IQ, or even how proficient you are with Excel. Does solving puzzles really predict job success? 💡 Here's a thought: What if collaboration during a trial period was the real test? Working side by side offers a genuine glimpse into future teamwork. Imagine a time machine that could undo a mismatch without the fuss. Sadly, we're not there yet. So, businesses bear the brunt, though it's hardly a joyride for candidates either. Are there any ways to check this without wasting time?

In our rapidly evolving job market, acing an interview goes beyond just wearing the right suit or having polished answers. It's about showcasing your unique value proposition. The modern-day candidate needs to present themselves as not just a potential employee but a strategic partner who can drive forward the organization's goals. This involves understanding the company's challenges and demonstrating how your experience and skills can address these needs. So, before stepping into your next interview, ask yourself: How can I align my strengths with the company’s objectives? The key to success lies in not just fitting into the role but shaping it to drive mutual growth. Remember, interviews are a two-way street. It's about finding the right fit for both you and the employer. Make it count.

Should there be a maximum number of interviews when hiring for a role? I understand that the hiring process can differ based on the level of the position and the industry. However, this year I’ve witnessed some extreme cases, such as a five-stage process that included a three-hour case study and presentation, only for the candidate to lose out to an internal applicant at the last minute! Can most hiring procedures be completed in three rounds or less with confident hiring managers, positive work cultures, and strong processes?

The work landscape has shifted away from candidates proving their unwavering company loyalty while they are in the interview process. (This will not shift back as generations go on.) Today, to secure top talent, employers need to see that the process is a transaction. Here's the winning formula: Quick phone screen Two interviews (1 virtual, 1 in-person) Decision within 7 business days If your company craves efficiency, you must reciprocate. Candidates are eager to contribute; don’t make it hard for them or for yourself. It costs you. Streamline your interview process and you’ll attract and secure the best talent.

Interviews in a poorly lit conference room are boring. Instead, spend some time with a potential employee by showing them one of your job sites. Not only will it allow you to get to know candidates better by seeing who they are beyond four walls, but it also gives you an opportunity to show off your work and what makes you different. Surprisingly, not too many construction companies do this. Give it a shot - I know it’ll help you stand out from the other companies they’re interviewing at. #groundupconstructionrecruiting #construction #hiring #interviewing

Effective hiring goes beyond basic qualifications. Intentional processes, thorough interviews, and multiple perspectives are key. Don't settle for the stereotype; invest in identifying candidates who align with your company's values and culture.
