Hiring Practices
Are you hiring and promoting the best?
One of the greatest challenges in corporations today is hiring and retaining the best people.
Job dissatisfaction is at record levels. According to some studies, up to 75% of all employees are looking for or will consider new employment opportunities. Employee retention is now one of the top concerns among senior level executives.
Far too often corporations hire or promote an employee, spend thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours in training, only to discover that the person is not a fit for the position, is significantly underperforming or has failed completely. Improperly conducted interviews also contribute to poor hiring and possible legal concerns.
With over 30 years of expertise in talent acquisition, Ashvattha Consulting is uniquely qualified to provide high impact solutions to the recruiting/hiring process, maximizing hiring results by identifying top performers before hiring.
Our methodology and tools are also utilized to evaluate current employees to determine promotability and productivity. We identify challenges and obstacles that block job effectiveness, providing training to successfully address these issues.
The number one reason for new hire or newly promoted employee failure is poor fit between the job and the person. Over 85% of the time this poor fit is in the area of soft skills. While objectively assessing soft skills is critical, it has often proven to be the most difficult.
Our best practices approach thoroughly defines the open job, determining the core hard skills along with the more difficult to define soft skills.
