The majority of employers usually lose very competent candidates because of their strict rules on recruitment and selection. They are so much devoted to their hiring rules to an extent that it is nearly impossible to have them think from another angle. However, for another thought, let's take a look at the practical cases that one Human Resources guru has to give us.
I hired someone that didn’t shake my hand firmly
during the interview. He rocked as an
employee.
I hired someone with three typos on their resume. She was the most detailed oriented person
I’ve ever worked with.
I hired someone without a college degree. He was way smarter, innovative, and creative
than me!
I hired someone with four kids. Never met someone so devoted and committed
than her career.
I hired someone who had been incarcerated as a
young adult. He’s a VP now.
I hired someone over 60. She taught me some tricks on excel that I use to this day!
Can we please throw out all those silly
assumptions and rules that we have made up in our heads about what a person
needs to be; look like; have accomplished; and do to succeed?
In my experience as a Human Resources Leader and Hiring
Manager; it’s those that typically don’t
get a “shot” who tend to kick butt in the workplace!
So before you throw that resume away because they
don’t have every certificate and degree – or – don’t call back that candidate
because they didn’t give you a firm handshake – think about trying something
new. Someone new.
