Square Pegs in Round Holes!
As a recruiter, the interesting aspect of recruiting staff is that every person you interview and subsequently present to a client is totally individual to anyone else who meets the same stated ‘Selection Criteria’ set by the potential employer.At the end of the day, we’re all people, not duplicated pieces of machinery manufactured to perform an allocated task in the workforce.
If a camcorder goes down, you take another that is either of the same brand and model, or use an equivalent unit with like functionality.
For the most part, you’re guaranteed of a level of performance set by the manufacturer. After you have used it, you can then store it and bring it out again when the next occasion presents itself.
If you scratch the housing, and it doesn’t effect it’s performance, you may choose to leave it as is, and so it stays damaged until it’s repaired.
On the other hand our human form repairs most superficial cuts and bruises.
It’s the first physical sign of our ability to evolve and move forward.
We seek to evolve from the day we are born through to becoming an educated adult armed with all the social skills and abilities in order to survive.
Our seven senses are being constantly challenged and we enjoy nothing more than stimulating any or all of them each and every day of our lives.
As a result, we gravitate to those environments that provide the stimuli we require.
So what turns you on?
If you’re job hunting, it may be the company’s reputation, market position, growth, or the perceived elevated position within the organization that has been presented to you.
Remember the company has a “Job Description” under which you are being considered, one that is normally structured to address policy, remuneration and other criteria to standardize the role within the organization.
In essence, it addresses the needs of others in an interactive matrix.
What it doesn’t account for is the human elements that are highly individual.
This is where you may experience extensive interviews and psychometric tests to ensure that you are the square peg they seek for their square hole.
However, it’s not uncommon for the selection process to remain a gut feel approach rather than the formal application of testing.
Bottom line is, it’s your responsibility to ensure that you have a full understanding of the position, responsibilities and most importantly a good understanding of the culture of the organization.
If possible, meet with potential colleagues before committing to accepting the position and search out those indicators that initially attracted you to this opportunity, then test their validity.
If it was market position or company reputation that attracted you to apply, then best Google for answers then use the gained knowledge in the form of questions at the interview.
Define the square hole in all dimensions, and don’t action your acceptance purely on the criteria set by the potential employer, test it with your own list of selection criteria.
Remember the stimuli in your life that has brought you this far.
For the employer
You may be in the business of supplying a product or service but you require staff to ensure the deliverables are compliant and on time.
The old “People are your greatest asset” statement is somewhat dated but by the same token quite valid.
Think of it now repackaged as, “Provide the tools of evolution and people will evolutionise your business.”
What does this mean?
No commercially viable business will survive if it preaches the, “I’m OK because I’m profitable today” approach.
Remember the evolving human element?
Your business is employing, selling to, and involving people with desires and aspirations. Every day the landscape under you is shifting slightly, and through the guise of ignorance you may not recognise the changes that have already occurred.
That is until a competitor has seconded your staff and paved a path to your customers.
So, here is the core of the article, the “meaning of life” for your business. This is the one lifeguard you should carry with you to ensure your business survives. It’s called “Business evolution”.
“Business evolution”
Because your business landscape is constantly shifting and it’s driven by people, then doing the same today as tomorrow is not going to guarantee your survival. In fact it’s a recipe for disaster.
By reading this article in Content & Technology you probably agree that you are, or at least work with a, “creative” in your work environment. This business model is highly cohesive with creatives.
People are looking for change. People seek to create change. People are evolving.
People are responsive to change, as long as they have had input.
With this in mind, create a business trend, encourage new ideas via a new independent system. What does your staff see as important for the business, relationships with clients and of course themselves? Now we’re not advocating a suggestion box at reception. That’s not the answer.
It’s a behavioral change that occurs using the natural flow of dynamics from within, called entrepreneurial spirit.
A great starting point is to first recognize the stimuli that drive the entrepreneurial spirit of those closest to you in your business. This is not an interrogation.
In essence you are establishing whether they are wearing miss-fitting corners within the round hole they are positioned.
It’s not for you to chip away the corners in order for them to fit, they have the ability to do this as long as you provide the tools.
They are evolving within their position, like a cake in the oven. Some positions are restrictive like cake tins.
Be conscious of their stimuli and ensure it remains within the scope of their job. If their entrepreneurial spirit is quashed by a position that has not evolved with them, it will change who they are, their behavior and subsequently the dynamics will change within the team.
It will domino onto others.
Be mindful of their responsibilities, encourage openness and establish a forum through which bureaucratic constraints are removed and quick decision making is encouraged.
This can only be done with established confidence, gained by understanding the stimuli that drives the entrepreneurial spirit of those around you.
“I love working here!” is proof of your success.
