Recruiting Introverts Why You Might Be Losing Your Best Candidates
Recruiting Introverts Why You Might Be Losing Your Best Candidates A few years ago, I watched New York Times best-selling author Susan Cainâs TED Talk on âThe Power of Introvertsâ and had one of those rare moments in life where everything suddenly made sense. Waitwhat? Im completely normal and just an introvert? Itâs hard to believe I never knew this about myself. The signs were always there: I love to connect 1:1 or in small groups, but dread networking events and ice breakers (just writing those two words raised my blood pressure). I play a lot of video games (alone). I prefer to stay behind-the-scenes and out of the spotlight. And most telling, I recharge by spending time alone. I just needed a little education to understand what all of these things meant. After watching Susanâs TED Talk and reading many subsequent articles about this topic, I am clearly not the only person who felt their introverted tendencies meant something was wrong with them. This is because our worlds (and our workplaces) are largely designed around those who need and want a lot of social interaction. Our recruiting processes and decisions also favor extroverts, and itâs not hard to see why. Extroverts are more expressive and boisterous and easily form connections with others. And our processes are narrowly tailored towards looking at people through the lens of how well they express themselves verbally under time pressure. Given that introverts generally prefer time to think before speaking, this can present quite a disadvantage. Yet, one-third to half of the population are introverts, and according to many studies, teams perform best when there is a balance of both introverted and extroverted members. In addition, whether a leader is introverted or extroverted can impact leadership effectiveness depending upon the type of team thatâs being led. The following quote from a Harvard Business Review article written by Francesca Gino, professor at Harvard Business School, says it best: Team leaders who are extroverted can be highly effective leaders when the members of their team are dutiful followers looking for guidance from above. Extroverts bring the vision, assertiveness, energy, and networks necessary to give them direction. By contrast, when team members are proactive â" and take the initiative to introduce changes, champion new visions, and promote better strategies â" it is introverted leaders who have the advantage. As someone who has worked in recruiting and talent management for 16 years, Iâve thought a lot about the ways to fix this issue. 1. Commit to learning about introverts We are in the people business. Itâs imperative that we not only understand the job and company weâre selling but also the complex nuances of the people we are recruiting. For instance, did you know that being introverted is not the same as being shy? Both introverts and extroverts are shy in equal numbers. There are a lot of great resources out there about introverts, including Susan Cainâs website, Quiet Revolution. The more we understand about introverts, the more we can recognize this personality trait in candidates and adjust our recruiting process accordingly. 2. Adjust the way you interview candidates We spend a lot of time during the interview process asking our candidates impromptu questions either on the phone or in person under time pressure. But what exactly does this assess? How well a person answers impromptu questions verbally? While this may be helpful in understanding how well a candidate may think on their feet, it really only reflects of one of many personality traits that can help determine whether they are a good fit for the job. What about assessing how well a candidate prepares for meetings or how well they can take several pieces of information and clearly articulate their perspective after some thought? Or, how well a candidate expresses themselves in writing? These are often strengths that introverts bring to the table that are overlooked in the interview process. Below are a few tips to help an introvert show off their strengths in the interview process and lead to better, more informed hiring decisions: Before an in-person interview, send some of the questions to the candidate in advance. This helps level the playing field between those who prefer to process before responding (introvert) and those who donât (extrovert). Send some questions in writing and ask for a written response. This shows how well a candidate expresses themselves in writing vs. just verbally. Some introverts are much better at articulating thoughts and expressing personality in writing. Ask a candidate to do some research on a topic and do a short presentation on it. This helps assess how well a candidate can organize their thoughts around a subject and present it in a meaningful way. Introverts often donât love to talk about themselves but can really shine when talking about a topic they are passionate about. Recruiters should also think about the tools that can help introverted candidates put their best foot forward in an interview. For most people, an in-person interview is a nerve-wracking experience, but for many introverts, the mere thought can leave them paralyzed with anxiety. Screening a candidate over text message can help put an introvert at ease and let their experience speak for itself. Here are some of the benefits of text-based interviews for introverted candidates: Through a text-based interview platform, the candidate can take all the time they need to clearly articulate their response to a question. Not always quick on their feet, an introvert will appreciate the ability to provide a well-thought out response. Introverts tend to dislike small talk and get nervous in situations that necessitate it. Screening a candidate over text eliminates the need for water cooler banter and chit chat, and lets the candidate really focus on explaining their skills and experience. Some introverts will spend as much time worrying about the small details of the interview, like what to wear, where itâs happening and who theyâre talking to, as they will preparing for the questions theyâre going to be asked. Text interviews eliminate the need to focus on the less important details and focus on the task at hand. Introverts prefer to be direct and to the point and dislike having to repeat themselves. They donât want to reinvent the wheel â" they would much rather switch gears and tackle something new. An interview over text allows the candidate and the recruiter to eliminate redundant questions and responses. Introversion is not only a natural leadership trait, its a tremendously valuable one. According to experts like Cain, introverts are persistent, diligent and focused on work. By incorporating the advice in this article into your recruiting practices, youâll avoid losing out on hiring some of your best candidates About the author: Kelly Lavin is a human resources executive who excels at helping companies hire and retain great people through creative and impactful talent practices.

3 Smart Networking Strategies to Use at Your Next Event
3 Smart Networking Strategies to Use at Your Next Event I get asked quite a bit about networking and the relation to job search and personal branding. Sometimes itâs about where to find good networking events, sometimes itâs more about how to approach the whole networking thing. Networking is second nature to some people and itâs a bit foreign to others. Once you have developed and positioned yourself in your personal brand its time to go out and meet some people and make an impact with it I say. Why should you be networking? Did you ever hear the mantra that people buy from people they know, like and trust? This is as true as it ever was. But to get trusted you have to be liked, to be liked you have to be known⦠How do you get to know customers in the first place? Well, a networking event is a great forum for it. This is where people come out for the very reason to meet people, share ideas and in a way sell themselves. At a networking event, you are showcasing yourself, your expertise and ultimately your personal brand. There is plenty of networking advice out there, I have come up with three things that have worked well for me over the years and here goes: 1. Listen and then ask the right questions The golden rule at a networking event, or any other business interaction for that matter is to listen more than you talk. This is classic sales stuff that everyone should know. If you think about the really successful people in your life, are they very chatter boxes or are they listeners? I would think the latter. Do they ask the right questions? I would think they probably do. You will only reach success when you understand what other people really want. Sometimes you will get people asking for your services but not knowing exactly why. This is your job to listen and make sure they know their reasons for it and what they are trying to achieve. If you think about it, what salesperson would you buy a camera from; the one talking at you and selling feature after feature, or the other one asking what you are going to use it for? Being an active listener and asking the right questions sounds like simple stuff but it can be harder to actually do. Active listening takes effort but when you do it the right questions will pop up and the payback is there. 2. Partner up with the competition You will inevitably bump into people doing similar things to you at networking events. Instead of the Mexican stand-off which sometimes happens, try to find out where there can be synergies between the two of you. Lets say that you sell ice-cream for instance and you get talking to another ice-cream salesperson. Do you work the same location? Do you sell the same flavors? Do your customers have the same demographic? Same pricing? Probably not on most of these questions. This means you can share information on suppliers, discuss general market conditions and you can even set up a joint venture and seek global ice-cream domination. If you are a solo-preneur, your success will depend on fitting into an eco system of other consultants and freelancers. Make yourself useful to them and help out as much as possible; your efforts are always appreciated and you will be repaid at some stage. You will invariably bump into and sometimes lock horns with the competition at client sites. The networking event provides a safe environment where you can you can practise interaction with the competition without causing too much damage in front of a customer. 3. Hunters vs. farmers We have all been there. You get chatting to someone with a big smile from ear to ear. They are hyper friendly and rather quickly state their business while scanning the room for their next prey. They hand over their business card and expect you to reciprocate; they then make an excuse and move on to the next person. This person will go home that night and count up the number of cards they got and more crucially, how many of their own cards they handed out. These people are called hunters, meaning they are only interested in a quick chat and exchanging cards. Study after study shows that this approach doesnt work but some folks do it as handing out cards feels like an achievement. Farmers on the other hand, understand the value of knowing, liking and trusting people. They know that business relationships grow over time and they are prepared to bide their time. They say that all you need is twenty people in your network if you nurture it well. These twenty people may take many networking events to get right but the farmer knows that having a real connection with one person is much stronger than shallow chats with hundreds. In practical terms, when you start out on the networking circuit its probably difficult to know whos who. When you see the same faces a few weeks in a row youll know who the farmers are and where you need to put your energy. The fact that the farmers are laid back, very comfortable with networking and genuinely interested in people certainly will certainly help you on the way. Your turn Thats three tips that have worked for me, hope they are of use to you. Now what are your best networking tips? Please share your thoughts! Related reading: 5 Great Ways NOT to Network.

3 Ways To Improve Your Efficiency When Working From Home CareerMetis.com
3 Ways To Improve Your Efficiency When Working From Home â" CareerMetis.com Photo Credit â" Pexels.comTelecommuting or freelancing has become one of the best ways many people can earn extra income working from home. Others have decided to do freelancing as a full-time job and many have been successful. Telecommuting has a lot benefit of which I will mention few of it.The benefits are; it improves your satisfaction, it eliminates wasted meetings, it increases your productivity level and it saves you time and money.Working from home has its challenges and blessings, which usually depend on your work ethic and how you schedule yourself.evalThe internet while it can earn you the income you must also learn to avoid some mistakes while doing business. It can also act as a distraction. Funny videos of cats, social networking sites like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and meme sites can present distractions if you are not disciplined.Below are 3 ways to improve your efficiency when working from home.1) Eliminate MultitaskingMultitasking is distracting especially if yo u are engaged in freelance work from home. Clients who hire you as a freelancer either to work as a programmer, web designer, writer or video transcriber except you to concentrate on their work and be able to deliver the results they desire.Multitasking will act as a distraction, therefore, it is important to concentrate on a single task at a time. If you have several assignments, the best way to accomplish them is by creating a schedule.Allocate different tasks time slots and ensure each task is completed within the required time.2) Set Attainable GoalsGoals act as milestones in our lives and help to guide us in a particular direction in order to achieve our dreams. Setting goals are one of the best ways of tackling big projects.A client may assign you 100 articles to write, a large POS software to develop or an e-commerce website. To complete these large projects, breaking them into milestones or goals helps you to tackle one after the other.evalWhen setting the goals, you need to come up with attainable milestones.For example, if a client assigns you between 50 to 100 articles of 500 words each, writing between 10 to 20 each day will allow you to complete the work within a week. It is impossible to complete the 50 or 100 articles in a day since you need to rest and attend to other duties as well.3) Dress WellMost people who work from home dress in casual clothes like jeans and t-shirts. However, you see others may stay in their pajamas. While this may be okay, studies have shown that individuals who take a shower each morning and dress well tackle their tasks with ease and have better results.Working from home does not mean being shabby, you can dress the same as the person heading out to the office. Dressing well gives you extra confidence and you will look smart and professional.evalAnother benefit that dressing well has is a client may request an emergency meeting through a video call to provide urgent instructions. It will be embarrassing if you appear on someoneâs screen with an old t-shirt or dressing gown.

Four Ways Job Hunting Isnt Like It Used to Be
Four Ways Job Hunting Isnt Like It Used to Be Executive LinkedIn profiles can help your job search. There are a few classic elements of job searching that will always remain: resumes, cover letters and making a good first impression on the people in charge of hiring. It is the approach to many job hunting principles that has changed, all thanks to todayâs technology, which has made it far easier to communicate than it was in the past. In order to succeed in todayâs job market, youâll have to know how to navigate it. You Have to Know How to Type The common QWERTY keyboard is a staple in todayâs world, so much so you will be expected to know how to use it. No longer is the ability to type efficiently highly coveted! Instead, other skills are much more important to todayâs jobs. It will be on you to figure out which skills you have that are most relevant to the job you want,and how you can tailor them to appeal to different employers. Consulting with executive resume writing services is one way to learn the ropes. Google Is Important! Google is a far more powerful tool now than it was a decade ago, evidenced by its position within the workplace. You will have to stay on top of your online presence and make sure its squeaky clean in order to get ahead. Quite a few employers run searches on individuals theyâre considering hiring or even to find the right people to hire in the first place! Since the first page of a Google search is the one people pay the most attention to, focus your efforts on doing some spring cleaning there. This tip is especially relevant to senior-level executives with established brands. Establish or Edit Your Brand If you dont have a brand already, itâs important you set one up for yourself. Your online presence is a major part of your brand because all a brand does is display who you are to employers and to the world. Make sure your brand is stable and easy to interpret. This is easiest to do by simply monitoring how you interact online. Setting up executive LinkedIn profiles is a great way to start customizing your brand for employers. Be Brief! Remember: employers dont have a lot of time to spend on your application! The most they will be able to devote to your resume is about half a minute, or 30 seconds. Your resume should only summarize your employment history and experiences as efficiently as possible. As the old adage goes, less is more! Any number of top rated resume writing services can help you figure out how to pare your resume down into something that will appeal to employers.
