Roster Improvement

We all want the perfect fit.  Sometimes we get it.  Sometimes it’s just not there.  One approach is to keep working at it and be patient.  Better to have the perfect fit at some point than to have a very good fit sooner.
The other approach is to constantly work to improve the roster.  Upgrade each spot every chance you get.  Work hard to expand your reach and identify the best fit that you can land for each spot.  Great sports teams do this.  Look at the New England Patriots.  They don’t wait around for the perfect linebacker.  They work very hard to identify the best that they can get at that position.
You can try to build the perfect team or you can constantly upgrade the roster.  Both ways are valid.  You just have to decide what will generate the success you want.

Making Businesses Better

Job Seekers typically see things from the perspective of their career, and that is understandable, but recruiting is not about careers. It’s about building great companies or making companies better. Great careers and great career moves are a by-product. In a lot of cases we feed the misconception. “Find your ideal job at XYZ Company”. Everyone’s skills are needed somewhere. The key for a candidate is to find the place where their skills and abilities are needed to make an organization better. That’s the best career fit, and that’s the situation where everyone wins. Great work in recruiting is always centered around making businesses better. Todd Kmiec Todd Kmiec and Associates

The Interviewer's Shoes

All kinds of goofy things happen in interviews.  Crazy questions.  Bluster.  Fluffed up claims of accomplishments and skills……etc. It’s a good idea to put yourself in the interviewer’s shoes.  Ask yourself what they want.  What the interviewer wants is to hire someone who will do the job they need to fill really well.  To make an impact on the company and to make the company better, more profitable.  If you can’t do that the interview is pointless.  If you can do that, you just need to show them that you can and will.

Wins Above Replacement

Originally posted in August of 2017. In baseball, wins above replacement is a statistic measuring how many wins a player would get you instead of having an average AAA minor league player in that slot. What is the value of a new hire over average to the bottom line of the business?  Or the loss of a good current employee versus the average in their spot? Worth considering.
