Recruitment
just competency?
Traditionally recruitment and selection has been based on several important factors, for example:
-
Competencies – can they do the job?
-
Experience/References – has someone else said they can do the job?
-
Gut feeling – do you think they can do the job?
-
Performance over time – after 3 months of trial and error, you’ll discover if they can actually do the job!
The missing ingredient?
Attitude and Motivation – Do they want to do the job? Are they a natural FIT for the role?
Attitude and Motivation is the critical component that:
-
Accounts for 40-60% of performance
-
May be outside most applicants’ awareness
-
Managers and HR do not usually assess
-
Is correlated with your current peak performers, and
-
Ultimately will allow you to get ahead in the challenge of recruiting!
“Ability is what you’re capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.” -Lou Holtz
