LESSONS FROM A RECRUITER [1]
Dear Job Seeker,
One cap doesn't fit it all when it comes to the style of recruitment organisations choose.
Organisations use several criteria at different times to test who an ideal fit is for them. Sometimes whether this person is experienced, skilled, or not may or may not be a priority to them. They may be prepared to train [the person] but there are certain traits they want to see first. This tells them they can build on it the person using those as entry points or foundation.
For example, some organisations lookout for one, two, or more of these traits;
- Ability to function with little or no supervision
- Patience
- Attention to details
- Appearance
- Effective communication
- Creativity
- Innovative
- Computer/digital tech literacy
- Influencial [leadership]
- Others
