What does 'Right' look like? What does it mean to 'Win in the Role?'
Jim Collins, “Good to Great” author writes about putting the RIGHT people on the bus. Stephen P. Robbins, author of "The Truth about Managing People, and Nothing but the Truth,” says that the issue is not with management, it is with the hiring process, or lack of one.
Experts call out to business leaders, recruiters and HR executives everywhere to say that it all begins with the proper creation of the job specification. If we chose to hire right, we then need to choose to create a job specification developed with the end in mind.
We all theoretically get that; however it is easier said than done. The challenge for most of us is in defining what RIGHT looks, sounds and feels like in the first place.
What are the specific measurable results or key performance indicators that are expected of the new or internal employee in this role and by when?
What are the Natural Success Factors (Motivations, Behaviors, Competencies and Values) that the right person will have walking in the door ?
Organizational Development and Industrial Organizational Psychologists report that there are three components that drive job performance. Understanding these different components assists in determining how to use assessments most effectively and safely.
The three components that drive job performance are
•Competencies (Skills & Experience)
•Values (Attitudes & Beliefs) and
•Behaviors (Fundamental Job Fit).
Within each of these components there are literally thousands of micro-definitions that can be used to further define them and help recruiters zero in on the characteristics and behaviors that a perfect would require to be successful in the job.
