Detecting Cultural Fit Issues
Become an Expert In Your "Client's" Culture To Fit Candidates To the Job
You’ve probably encountered problems such as these: You send an internal or external client a candidate who looks perfect, but the client says, “Not quite right.” You find an executive who deals well with the board, but not with the management team. Or, at the end of all the interviewing and reference checking, the client and the candidate can’t agree on the offer-not on the salary, but the other parts of the offer. If you’re a recruiter, sometimes you just want to scream!
Don’t be frustrated. Instead, listen to this audio conference on CD with author Johanna Rothman and begin to reframe your role so that you are as much a consultant to your client as you are someone who sources candidates. Your job is to be a detective, to learn about the client’s cultural issues that prevent otherwise great candidates from being accepted by the client.
In this Audio Conference on CD we discuss:
- The myth of "corporate" culture as the only culture you need to care about
- Five key areas to probe for culture issues
- One key question to use to probe for each manager's culture
- How to use context-free and contextual questions to probe your clients' cultures
- Eight questions to verify the job analysis and culture
- Four key questions to ask candidates about their cultural preferences
- How to coach your clients to asking questions that help them detect cultural fit
You'll explore ways to use your "Sherlock Holmes" detective skills to learn about each client's cultural fit issues – and to learn where your candidates will fit.
