Recruiters Make Mistakes While Hiring For Leadership Roles
Attracting and recruiting competent talent is no longer an easy task, especially in a rapidly booming economy like China. The task becomes even more complicated when the recruitment needs to be made for leadership roles at top organizational levels. This leads them to make the below discussed top mistakes while hiring the candidates for leadership roles. • Show Too Much Dependence On Job Boards • Prefer Experience Over Competence • Confuse Performance With Potential • Ask Wrong Interview Questions • Use Only Compensation As the Best Incentive However, the experts from top headhunting firms in China advise the hiring managers to stop being too dependent on these job boards alone. With the emergence of other channels such as social media, internet referral schemes and personal networks, it has become essential for the hiring managers to use a combination of these multiple channels for finding the most suitable candidates. It has become extremely important for the hiring managers today to be creative with their interview questions. According to the professionals from the top leadership development firms in China, asking the age-old and clichéd interview questions, will not provide them with the most vital information about the candidates. Rather asking pointed behaviour-based questions is the key to extracting the right information that will prove critical in making correct hiring decisions.
