The recruitment process within an organisation is one of the most important steps on the path to business success.
Get it right and you go from strength-to-strength, get it wrong and it will sap the vitality from your organisation.
If you make a ‘good’ hire, the new recruit will come up to speed in a reasonable time, typically excel for a period in order to impress, and then settle in to align with the company norm.
A ‘bad’ hire will take longer to induct, may never achieve the company norm and will settle back into the lowest level of productivity that they are able get away with. This drags down the company average, negatively affects morale, and requires excessive performance management and ultimately dismissal and possible litigation.
A ‘great’ hire has the right attitude for success. They hit the ground running, come up to speed faster and excel in their role. They are uncomfortable when peer pressure tries to pull them in line with the company norm and go on to establish new highs in productivity, encouraging others to improve and raising morale.
