COMMON HIRING MISTAKES
HOW TO AVOID THEM
Part 2

Hiring the right candidate for a vacancy is far from an easy process. This is after all, why companies assemble expensive HR teams and outsource hiring needs to specialist recruitment firms.
Hiring the right person is a process that presents numerous challenges.
Let’s have a look at some of the most common hiring problems and how to fix them…

2. FAILING TO PREPARE FOR AN INTERVIEW
As an employer, you may have done dozens of interviews. As a result, you might look over a candidate’s resume and then “wing” the interview, relying on standard questions such as “What are your strengths as an employee?”. Job seekers expect these standard questions and often have pat answers ready.
• Instead of sticking with this ineffective formula, really study the applicant’s resume. Ask them about any discrepancies you notice.
• Dig into their past job experience and have them tell you about their daily duties.
• Use questions specifically tailored for individual interviewees. In that way, you can gather useful information and not receive stock answers to expected questions.

HOW EthicTalents Recruitment CAN HELP

I understand the human capital element cannot always be the focus in your organisation as this consumes valuable time.

I do proper screening of candidates & comprehensive reference checks, which include substantial research into each candidate’s abilities, and conduct competency-based interviews before introduction.

I offer the best all round cost-saving portfolio the recruitment industry has to offer without compromising on quality service.

COMMON HIRING MISTAKES

Part 1

Hiring the right candidate for a vacancy is far from an easy process. This is after all, why companies assemble expensive HR teams and outsource hiring needs to specialist recruitment firms.
Hiring the right person is a process that presents numerous challenges.
Let’s have a look at some of the most common hiring problems and how to fix them…

1. FAILURE TO PREPARE A JOB DESCRIPTION
Before you place an ad – or hire a specialist recruiter, make sure you know what (not who) you’re hiring. That starts with a current and accurate job description that outlines the work, not the worker. Getting the duties right gives you the power to get the hire right.
Having the following information is key:
* What are the most important responsibilities of the job?
* What do they do daily, weekly, monthly, annually?
* What experience, skills or degree is required?
* What physical requirements need to be met?

Required Characteristics – probably the most important part of an interview:
* Is meticulous attention to detail necessary?
* Is the team very laid back and looking for someone who will fit in?
* Is a positive attitude needed to work with difficult customers?

These qualities are not easy to spot on a resume, but can be sought during the interview process, helping you find just the right fit. It’s all about the prep!

ANOTHER PROFOUND STATEMENT BY Richard Branson👌

"I have a theory called Circles. Begin by drawing a circle around yourself and make sure everything inside your circle is going well. Is your work-life balance in sync? Are you staying healthy? Once you are confident in yourself, widen the circle to include your loved ones. Once they are thriving, start thinking about the bigger picture and do all you can to help others. If you have a small business, make a difference in your neighbourhood. Then as you grow, draw a bigger circle around your city. Next, try to have a positive impact across your country. Finally, draw a last circle around the world. Maybe even the universe one day…" by Richard Branson

OVERQUALIFIED FOR A JOB??? No problem...

What to do when you are told you’re OVERQUALIFIED for a job
PART 3

Sometimes having all the experience and qualifications can make it harder for you to land the job. This has become a harsh reality for job seekers over 40…

Overcome your “overqualification” with these tactics

Tweak your resume
A hiring manager might think a candidate with your experience will consider some of the tasks associated with the position to be beneath them. If you’re in a supervisory role, one subtle way to address this is to take on tasks you might otherwise assign to others and list them on your resume.
That way, prospective hiring managers will see that you aren’t so far removed from those ‘lower level’ responsibilities as they may have thought.

Not sure your resume is properly selling you for the job?
Get a free resume evaluation today from the experts at EthicTalents Recruitment.
You'll get detailed feedback, including a review of your resume's appearance and content, and a prediction of a recruiter's first impression. It's a quick and easy way to ensure your skills and experience don't put you under suspicion but rather paint you as a perfect match.

Should your resume require some TLC, EthicTalents Recruitment will gladly assist at a small fee.

What to do when you are told you’re OVERQUALIFIED for a job
PART 2

Sometimes having all the experience and qualifications can make it harder for you to land the job. This has become a harsh reality for job seekers over 40…

Overcome your “OVERQUALIFICATION” with these tactics – Part 2

EMPHASIZE YOUR LONGEVITY
The false assumption with overqualified candidates is that they will only take this job while they continue to search for the ‘right job’. Stress that you’re in it for the long haul.
Again, use your cover letter or email introduction to explain why you want this job. Be upfront that you understand this may be a concern—but that it’s one they need not worry about.

BE FLEXIBLE ON SALARY
One of the hurdles of bringing so much knowledge to the table is that interviewers expect you to want a commensurate pay check. In most cases, they won’t increase the salary just because you have some extra know-how, so be prepared to take a pay cut if you want a job you could have taken several years ago.
If the company asks about salary requirements, mention that you are flexible if the requested salary is less than what you made previously. Never make it seem that the position is beneath you.

SELL THE ADVANTAGES
Consider what your years of experience bring to the position, even if recruiters aren’t specifically looking for it. Instead of being “overqualified,” view yourself as “highly qualified” with something extra to offer the company.
Emphasize that you are more than capable of doing the job in question and that your abundance of qualifications means you can assume greater responsibilities in less time than it would take to train someone else.

What to do when you are told you’re OVERQUALIFIED for a job
PART 1

Sometimes having all the experience and qualifications can make it harder for you to land the job. This has become a harsh reality for job seekers over the age of 40…

Overqualified? Focus your interest on the job or company itself.
Being told you are overqualified for a job can feel like someone telling you you're too awesome to date. Come again? You have got the experience of multiple jobs and years of workplace know-how under your belt—how can that possibly be an impediment to getting a job?

Hiring managers might think you are using this job opportunity as a temporary solution until a more senior position opens elsewhere, or that you expect to earn a salary that’s commensurate with your experience. But just because a hiring manager thinks you look too good on paper does not mean you’re out of the running.
Overcome your “overqualification” with these tactics.

Don’t tiptoe around it
In your cover letter, address your experience mismatch outright. Say you know you have certain skills or tenure that are above and beyond what the position calls for, but that you are looking for an additional type of challenge or opportunity.
Not addressing the elephant in the room is a mistake. You aren’t making clear why the job in question is a good fit at this point in your life, and all the hiring managers can think is, ‘It doesn’t make sense that this person is applying.’

Focus on your interest in the job or company itself. Employers will be more likely to take a chance on you if you talk about why you’re passionate about the work rather than the fact that the job requires less travel or offers a shorter commute.

Based in Gauteng, South Africa

I am Belinda Hanekom founder of EthicTalents (Pty) Ltd. My company name is based on 2 qualities which has very distinctive personal meanings – ETHICS and TALENT.
I believe that ETHICS is a key factor in the workplace because it goes hand-in-hand with integrity, loyalty and respect – the 3 qualities which adds so much value to a successful organisation.
Then I added TALENTS - it has always been my believe that if you are fortunate enough to pursue a career which compliments your natural talent, you will be so fulfilled in your daily duties that you will never work a day in your life.
Put these 2 very important qualities in one pot and you will find that you have a combination of a very content and diligent employee.
This is where I come in… I seek out candidates who are looking for that rare opportunity of finding the dream career - who knows what they want in life and are eager to achieve it. At the same time, I am then able to provide your Organisation with a highly skilled candidate who is not only eager to achieve his/her life long dream but also enjoys it along the way because it compliments his/her natural talents.
