In this days when there are many people searching for jobs, the HR department of your company most be having a lot of fun. Don't you think?
I have always thought that managers and people in leadership have a huge responsibility in picking up the right people for their companies. I would say that is better to work with people of high standards since change, quality and improvement is already in their blood, but that is if you are really ready for them, looking forward to find the perfect fit in the best interest of the company. Of course those characteristic are not always seen on a resume, but you might get a better idea from what you perceive in people during an interview.
On this days, we can imagine the level of unemployment is helping this process of recruiting, making it an easier task because there are a lot of well educated, and experienced people out there applying for the same job. But then, the question is, if people that are recruiting are prepared to recognize and appreciate the value in the character, experience, talent and personality of those that are applying for the job or they get afraid and instead of looking at the prospect as an asset for the business, they see them as a career competitor.
Other important aspect on this process of recruiting is the evaluation of our real offer vs. public advertisement. Professionalism and Ethic have nothing to do with fashion or expensive locations and respect is one of the most important value in our professional life. We shall treat people with the same respect we hope that others treat us. If you are in a process of recruiting don't try to sugar cover the job description with information that does not match the real task, description, and requirement, because the people you are calling are overqualified for that job. It is not fair and its not ethic either. Month ago I had an experience like this with a company that is located in a gorgeous area in Winter Park, Florida. Too bad that such a beautiful office is used for such a bad practice.
Some times, in this new era of technology and new ways of doing things its very difficult to find the balance or the best approach according to our task or goal. If you are recruiting, that can be challenging on time management, selecting people for interview by looking at their resume, and if you are searching for a job it is also challenging because there are many misleading information of "job opportunities" out there. There are companies that are offering jobs opportunities that are a joke and they don't realize the damage they do to their company's name.
We can always find a way to work effectively with people that know about high standard and are eager to walk the extra mile to work in bringing great results while being efficient. Do your best to find the right person to your company and be open to grow with them!
