We already know that recruitment and selection in Mexican industry are becoming a titanic full-time undertaking. Off go our energetic recruiters to search high and low for ideal candidates, conducting interviews left and right and reading countless CVs and job applications. These are often so manipulated, tailored or incomplete that they inspire no confidence at all.

 

When the successful candidate is finally selected and joins our wonderful company, we discover that finding them took longer than it took them to disappear. Then the immediate supervisors return agaaaain with an “urgent” request: 20 of the 50 people who just joined have already left. This is everyday life for a recruiter who, thin, worn down and dark-eyed, can no longer see a way out and simply feels overwhelmed.

 

So, where is the problem? Everywhere, but it begins with lacking a clear, appropriate, high-quality and effective procedure that gives our internal customer as much assurance as possible that the final shortlists or selected candidates truly fit the position's needs and possess the competencies required to perform the job—or at least begin training.

 

Daily recruitment and selection work has pushed us toward standardized, “blind” processes. Vital job-description information is taken for granted, or we simply read an instruction sheet and work from it.

At JST&C, we are a CONOCER assessment center, and our portfolio of authorized standards includes the EC 0306 recruitment and selection of operational and administrative personnel; a standard that helps create a finely tuned recruitment and selection process and gives our HR team tools, processes, methods and techniques to increase its effectiveness in finding key candidates while continuing to work.

 

What will you learn throughout EC 0306 recruitment and selection of operational and administrative personnel?

 

  1. You will develop, improve or refine your processes for obtaining key information about the positions to fill. Without an accurate job description, this does not work.
  2. Participants will analyze the position being recruited for to select recruitment and selection channels and sources more effectively. In other words, not everything is on OCC or Facebook.
  3. You will contact “ideal” candidates, ask assertive questions and direct interviews toward the purpose required for each position.
  4. To conduct effective and strong interviews with precise information about the candidates' hopes, dreams, skills, weaknesses and opportunities.
  5. Present the report to internal customers.
  6. To notify professionally the results of the process as well as the following steps.

 

This will not only structure your recruitment and selection processes, but also give your HR staff a practical, efficient—or more efficient—way to reach ideal candidates. It is coordinated work that involves more than knowing how to conduct interviews. It requires attention from the very first contact with the internal client: where will the employee work, what will their chair be like, is there air conditioning? What are the working conditions in general? This process is essential to build a complete picture of the position before beginning the search for the employee.

 

Dear reader, if you are tired of recruiting endlessly without improving your company's turnover rate, it is time to change your approach, leadership and how you address recruitment and selection. It is time to professionalize your HR executives.

 

What's the process about?

  1. First, let's put ourselves into communication (contacto@jesussanchez.com.mx).
  2. A diagnostic exam (free of charge) is required to determine the recommended starting point: training, alignment, or direct assessment.
  3. With this information and depending on your choice, you would enter the training or alignment process.
  4. After this an evaluator will be assigned and will contact you to define the time and process to be followed.
  5. Practical, product and knowledge assessment.
  6. Certification if everything's in shape.
