I want to start this with a joke about misfits, so you can have a good laugh and we kick things off on a light note. The problem is I’m not very good at jokes, so we’ll just do each other a favour and stick to what I know. Of course, it would be nice if I told you a joke, but that’s not my job and it’s something you can forgive. When you make hiring decisions, how do you differentiate necessities from nice-to-haves? Do you have a recruitment strategy that focuses on what is important? Or does your HR have to be good at jokes?

Why your Recruitment Strategy needs to be Spot-on.

Hiring the right people for your organisation is an integral part of your success and it is often among the most difficult things to execute. Judging a person’s character is a challenging exercise, even when they’re sitting right in front of you. According to Malcolm Gladwell in his book Talking to Strangers, we only have a 50% chance of getting it right. It is more difficult when the hiring process is remote.

There are many things to consider beyond matching skills when hiring a candidate, with things such as the candidate being a culture fit just as important. An excellent recruitment strategy should reflect this. A good team needs an established rhythm and hiring someone who doesn’t fit into that rhythm can wreck your team’s performance.
