Channel Eye has joined forces with Royston Guest, leading Business Growth Coach and CEO/Founder of Pathways Global, in our series, ‘Ask the Business Coach’.
Choosing the right employees will drive your business forward; hiring unsuitable individuals can delay your growth by 6 to 12 months. It is essential to have complete clarity on the role you are hiring for and the kind of person needed to fill that role when recruiting a new employee.
Three key takeaways
- 49% Task, 51% Feeling Hiring Rule.
- Cultural fit is everything.
- What is their motivation – why do they want the role
Episode timestamps
- [1.14] Having the technical skills or qualifications to perform a role is essential. A candidate shouldn’t even be considered if they don’t meet these fundamental criteria.
- [1.27] Danny Meyer, CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group, had a hiring rule based on 49% tasks, meaning how well an individual performs their duties, and 51% feelings, referring to how a person relates to themselves and others on an emotional and personal level. When recruiting, consider the high effectiveness quotient of candidates, namely their emotional skills. You may have the most qualified individual, but if they are not a team player, do not culturally align with your organisation, or lack the correct set of values, their technical qualifications become irrelevant; they simply will not fit.
- [2.53] Cultural fit is crucial. Will this candidate align with our team, culture, and organisation?
