Throughout the years, resumes, references, and interviews have been the standard selection pieces for the hiring process. Resumes provide the hiring team with an overview of a candidate’s work history, references provide insight into their work ethic, and an interview gives a sense of an applicant’s communication style. However, in recent years, recruiters require more than a well-written CV and a confident attitude in face-to-face interviews to determine whether an applicant is an appropriate fit for a role. As the recruitment process has developed, it is shifting its focus onto other aspects when considering a candidate: personality.
By highlighting personality during the recruitment process, not only do you gain deep insight into a candidate's potential, but it also eliminates bias and speeds up the recruitment process in an effective manner. Therefore, as you welcome your new team member, their valued traits, and behavior will be sure to benefit the work environment and enhance the further success of the company.
