Capturing Emotional Intelligence within the hiring process

Emotional Intelligence in recruiting plays a significant role in selecting candidates who have the right technical skills, fit well with the company culture, and work well with others.

Here's how EI is applied in recruiting:

Assessing Soft Skills
Creating a Comfortable Interview Environment
Identifying Genuine Behaviors
Improving Candidate Experience
Mitigating Unconscious Bias
Evaluating Cultural Fit

Incorporating emotional intelligence into recruiting processes can lead to better hiring decisions, fostering a workforce that's not only skilled but also emotionally and socially competent—a vital component for thriving in dynamic workplace environments.

Recruitment in Cumbria presents its challenges, as highlighted by a recent experience. In August, we assisted a client who had been seeking to fill a crucial role since the start of 2023. Despite utilising various platforms and recruiters, the position remained unfilled.

After an extensive search, we were thrilled to inform the selected candidate of their job offer. Interestingly, this passive candidate had been content in their current role for the past 17 years. Traditional advertising methods would not have captured their attention, as they were not actively looking for new opportunities.

Facing difficulties in filling a key role within your organisation? If you are in need of a recruitment partner to assist in the hunt, feel free to reach out to us at 01228 904321.

Having dashed to Durham for an emergency passport, a powerful message caught my daughter's eye: "Only you can write the next page." This phrase resonates not only in personal endeavors but also in recruitment.

In a recent recruitment process for an Operations Director role at an owner-managed business, filling the position has had a transformative impact. The MD/owner, previously overwhelmed with a heavy workload, now has a reliable No2 to steer the business. This strategic shift has freed him to focus on the development of the business, marking a significant step forward after years of stagnation.

Whether you're a candidate looking for new opportunities or a business owner seeking to pivot, consider the impact of "writing the next page." Contact Six Degrees at 01228 904321 for your next chapter.

Great night yesterday at the event at Rheged talking about the big changes in Cumbria that are going live on April 1st. April 1st?...........

Opting to consolidate the district councils into two bodies going live on April fool’s day brought a few laughs from the audience!

The new Cumberland councils’ values will be “Empowering, Ambitious, Innovative, Collaborative and Compassionate. All values that run at the heart of our business and the many clients we work with.

Both Chief Executives Andrew Seekings and Sam Plum have an enormous task on their hands, but their appetite and enthusiasm really shone through. There was also talk of a focus on where possible creating a circular economy in Cumbria which was massively encouraging for businesses to hear.

Good luck to you both and your teams, Cumbria is such a fantastic place to live but there's always scope for improvement.

Employee Retention | The Downsides of Making a Counteroffer to Retain an Employee

Following the pandemic, many employees have revaluated their career options and decided to leave their current organisations. As the talent pool shrinks, leaders are prepared to do just about anything to keep good employees from walking out that door. The counteroffer is one retention tool at leaders’ disposal. In fear of losing an employee, a leader may counter with a promotion, a merit increase, a one-time bonus, equity grants, or an opportunity to move to another team. But leaders, beware the perceived power of the counteroffer. Based on experience there are a number of downstream consequences you likely haven’t considered if the employee accepts. Here’s why making a counteroffer to an employee who has resigned can do more harm than good.
