The Nitty Gritty Interview Details
Thirty minutes to an hour with a hiring manager is not much to understand if you’re making the right move. Don’t hold back if you feel you need more time. Remember that you’re interviewing the employer as much as they’re interviewing you. Considering the blurred lines between work and life, it’s important to have a holistic understanding of what your employee experience will be.
Put Meaning Behind Your Mentorship Programs
Mentoring programs have evolved into a multi-faceted approach that can bring value to any employee willing to participate. It’s no longer inviting a rookie to the table so they can hear a veteran talk about the last 20-30 years of experience. As we emphasize the fact that everyone can learn at any age, mentorship programs look a little different these days. Here are the mentorship trends we’ve seen over the last few years that have proved successful.
Leave Micromanagement and Complacency Behind — Become a Leader
The role of a people leader has evolved to a place that would have been unrecognizable in the 1950s or 60s. When we think of the origins of a people leader, they were authoritative, focused on compliance and correction, and enforced strict boundaries on organizational information. Fast forward to today, and leaders can be too removed from the antiquated managerial role by not providing any guidance necessary for their teams to grow.
Expanding Our Non-Profit Footprint With Your Help
From day one, the heart of Mission Recruit was deeply rooted in our desire to help others, financially and emotionally. There are so many in our community who rely heavily on a helping hand, and we want to be there at those times. The moment you hear about all the deserving organizations out there, it can be difficult to narrow it down. However, with our new initiative Profit for Non-Profits, we’re able to avoid limitations and partner with countless organizations.
The Ineffectiveness of Either/Or Assessments
With countless personality assessments out there, it can be difficult to decipher between them all. Which one is right for your organization, and which one will give you the biggest bang for your buck? At Mission Recruit, each of us has been through several “either/or” assessments, all of which ask the same set of questions. The purpose of these “tests” is to understand who you are and how you can work better with your team. However, we find these results fall short in providing real value.
How Two Worlds Became One and Why It’s Better
Knowing who you are can sometimes be a challenge in and of itself. This is a great opportunity for companies to make an investment in their talent. Through an assessment called Human Design, individuals and teams can gain a better understanding of who they are without conforming to the idea that society has set. Using only the information from the date, time and place of your birth, your assessment is truly objective. Team workshops are available once you obtain your assessments to clear a path toward working better and smarter together.
Determining the Right Culture Fit For You
When jobseekers are on the hunt, you’ve got your ducks in a row when determining what to ask your potential employer. What does the team look like? What do you see for the future of this role? Is there a career path? And while we try to understand the company culture during the hiring process, it can be hard to get the answers you need in the few questions you ask. There are a few ways to dig a little deeper for that holistic view of culture.
Mission Recruit Delivers More Than Just Top Talent
Mission Recruit was founded on passion and determination to connect the best employers with the best candidates. That same enthusiasm is held for organizations who lend themselves to aid those who are suffering. The moment this company was being developed, we prioritized our involvement to contribute to non-profits that stood out to us.
Fortune 500 Companies Want These Qualities in Their Next Hire
Finding a job in today’s world is so different from where it was years ago. Fortune 500 companies – and really any employer – is looking for transferable skills like the ones we mentioned. If you’re on the hunt for your next employer, take the time to reflect on the qualities you can offer outside your technical skills. This will surely make you stand out from the crowd and let your future leaders know, you’re one in a million.
