A New Approach to Hiring: Moving from Pedigree to Potential
Summary
The traditional approach to sourcing applicants by focusing on the best academic credentials – top colleges, name brand universities and GPAs – is leaving a huge gap between qualified candidates and degree holders. A degree does not guarantee job performance, and employers are missing out on a wider pool of skilled candidates.
In today's work environment, smart employers realize that they need to seek out as well as hire people with practical experience, instinct, and initiative.
In this 60-minute program, HR expert Michelle Coussens will show you how to take a closer look at your current hiring practices and provide effective ways to find a wider pool of qualified applicants. Join us to learn:
- The skills typical business professionals need for today and “tomorrow”
- How to cultivate and attract “STARS” (“Skilled Through Alternative Routes”)
- Steps to move past credentials flash to performance splash
- Ways to find the best candidates without deferring to traditional default criteria
- What leading companies are doing, and what you can learn from them
Program Highlights
Re-thinking Hiring to Find Better Candidates
- How traditional hiring requirements keep you from finding the best people
- New strategies, resources, and mindsets to anticipate and fill staffing needs
- What to know and do to stay a step ahead of evolving candidate trends
- How you can better discern and measure actual candidate skills and potential
Casting a Wider Net: Keys to Catching More Applicants
- Identifying which jobs actually require a college degree – and which don’t
- Alternatives to traditional higher education that provide qualified workers
- Hiring in a pandemic: finding people ready to hit the ground running
- Using automation to capture the best candidates with experience and know-how
- Identifying the right requirements and candidates to move your organization forward
We’ll answer the top questions that employers are asking, including:
- How did a four-year degree become compulsory for nearly every job, and how do we decide which jobs we actually need them for?
- What should I do differently when first creating job postings and associated requirements?
- What self-starter traits should I look for as alternatives to degrees, majors, and course work?
