3 Benefits of Hiring Candidates Through a Small IT Provider
In the world of business, no matter the industry, we know that the bottom line is important. There are hundreds of factors that make a company or employment agency succeed in its own way, but at the end of the day, you have to have the funds to make those achievements happen.
We also understand that in the current business climate, professional IT talent is a hot commodity – yet one that is not always evaluated and attained successfully.
Here at the Talmadge Group, we have been connecting integration, support and technical programming service professionals with federal, state, and local clients for 18 years. We know how difficult it can be to find the right person who fits your company, which is why we use our Performance Focused Hiring method instead of the outdated, old standard of finding candidates.
With this method, we follow the 5 elements of the PFH process:
Define success first: Simply stated, to hire superior people you must define superior performance. Once you know this, use this information as the basis of all candidate sourcing activities. This is your road map for hiring the best people and building great teams.Evaluate Objectively: Using the information developed in your hiring roadmap, create a standardized process that treats all candidates equally. Validate candidate performance first, then assess the personality/culture fit. Using this order mitigates the most common hiring errors.Emotional Restraint: Delay negative/positive selection decisions until adequate information is collected and validated by supporting facts.Remove Search Boundaries: Expand the candidate pool to include passive candidates. If you are only interviewing candidates who need a job, you will miss 80% of highly qualified candidates.Event Management: Convert the hiring process to a marketing event. Ensuring yours is a job of choice will save time, money while making you a better manager.
Not only do we have a service that has worked for close to 20 years, but with our experience comes the benefits of working with a small company with a large reach.
