How NOT to recruit! Image from readytomanage.com
Recruitment in the 21st century is evolving rapidly.
Costs of recruitment are high, but even higher are the costs of recruitments that fail! When your new employee, in whom you have invested heavily to recruit, train and carry through until they begin to perform, fails to meet expectations or leaves after a short time, another needs to be rehired and trained. This is the real cost of failed recruitments.
How does recruitment fail?
Regular recruitment for quite a long time has followed the same process, and a high proportion of failures have been accepted as the norm.
Regular Recruitment Strategy:
Regular Hiring Process
Whilst this 9 step strategy seems to cover all the bases, there is still much guesswork and gut feel about the process. We all know that a person desperate to get a job will often do whatever they can, or have to, to get their foot in the door. When interviewing, you can’t always get it right! Gut feel doesn’t always work, especially with people whom you may never have met before, in the very artificial environment of the interview room.
Intelligent Hiring adds a number of key elements that change everything. It takes the guesswork out of recruiting, without costing any more initially, and saving a small fortune in the long run from:
• More successful recruitment,
• Targeting specific characteristics in your new recruits
• Almost nil failure rate and
• Much greater productivity from those that are hired!
The Optimism Factor in Intelligent Hiring
Specific criteria to target in your new recruits could include one of the most powerful indicators of success, which is the Optimism factor. Optimistic people will always sell more, perform better, produce more, get along with other people better and bounce back from adversity faster and with even more enthusiasm, just because they believe they can!
“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.” Henry Ford
The Intelligent Hiring system enables you to do this.

The Intelligent Hiring Process
These extra few steps have the powerful benefits of:
• Selecting based on specific, measurable criteria
• Setting a minimum benchmark standard for applicants, making initial shortlisting more efficient
• Takes the guesswork out of the hiring process
• Saves time by interviewing only those that meet or exceed the benchmark
• Guarantees that only the benchmarked standard AND ABOVE will be interviewed
• Recruits from only those candidates who can increase productivity and performance above what is currently your best performer in the role
• Minimises and almost eliminates failures from the recruitment process
• Guarantees the new recruits for three months
• Actual recruitment costs and outlays remain the same
• Ongoing costs are greatly reduced, while productivity and performance are greatly increased
