Behavioral Interviews, Realistic Job Previews & Robust Onboarding - Key Elements For Employer Success
Webinar Background :
Achieving business success goes beyond merely filling open positions. Complicated, confusing, or reactive hiring processes make it challenging to attract the right talent. An organization's success hinges on the employees it hires, with each moment and decision contributing to the overall outcome. Talent acquisition professionals must identify top candidates early and move swiftly through the hiring stages. It's easy to be deceived by a candidate who appears ideal during the hiring process but turns out to be a poor fit after being hired. Traditional interviews predict future success only 10% of the time. A poor fit means the employee will never reach optimal performance, engage fully, or stay long-term, leading to costly and disruptive turnover. Recruiting expenses can range from 50-100% of an individual's annual salary. From the moment a new employee starts, they evaluate their decision to join the company. 70% of new hires decide whether to stay or leave within the first six months. A poor fit results in quick disengagement and turnover, leaving the employer to deal with the fallout.
The solution lies in implementing strategies to identify the right talent and the right fit, both personally and culturally. Three critical strategies ensure a good match for both the employer and the employee: Realistic Job Previews, Behavioral-Based Interviews, and Onboarding before the candidate commits. These strategies leverage the power of self-selection and accurately assess candidates' skills, abilities, and fit. One study found that using Realistic Job Previews as part of onboarding increased engagement from 14% to 93%.
