Speaker
Yash Maroli, Q HR Techworx – The Art of Hiring
Recruiting Business, is also a Rotarian who recruits members for his club.
Recruiting and Interviewing are two totally separate functions.
Issue-Hiree doesn’t actually know what they are looking for before the start the hiring process.
Don’t Hire if you don’t know the end goal.
Don’t just Hire to replace the person – Hire for a certain Role.
4 Important questions: 1. What is the Value of the new person; 2. What is the NEED; 3. What is the Cost as Hiring the wrong person can be very costly; 4. Will the new person affect market share or revenue?
When interviewing find reason to hire that person, not reject them.
Interview Styles: Art Critic, Prosecutor, Democrat, Salesperson, Fortune Telller, Chatterbox
Value Based Hiring – Gather information to ensure the recruit is capable of delivering (ie do your homework).
