\u00a0<\/span>When you need to add an employee to your staff, you might reach out to a staffing agency to help with the process. Perhaps they send over a few resumes that, with luck, show a candidate that matches the requirements of your open <\/span>position. You take a chance, interview, and then hire that person. Hopefully they work out to be a good long<\/span>–<\/span>term fit. But what if you could work with a staffing agency that gives you a guarantee of\u00a0<\/span>an amazing next hire. Sound too good to be true? Read on to see why<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Scion Staffing Inc. is more than your average recruitment firm<\/span>\u00a0and how we use performance<\/span>–<\/span>based hiring techniques to ensure your next hire is a long-term match!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u00a0are\u00a0performance based hiring techniques?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Based on the research\u00a0<\/span>of staffing expert, Lou Adler,\u00a0<\/span>performance-based<\/span>\u00a0hiring techniques get to the heart of th<\/span>e<\/span> position and move past just the skills a person may need to <\/span>do the job. Why is this important?\u00a0<\/span>Evaluating talent based <\/span>on<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>solely<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>skills<\/span>\u00a0needed<\/span> does not give you <\/span>talent\u00a0<\/span>who<\/span>\u00a0are the\u00a0<\/span>best\u00a0<\/span>for the<\/span>\u00a0position.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Many\u00a0<\/span>times,<\/span>\u00a0employers can be too focused on<\/span>\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0skills and\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>l<\/span>ist of\u00a0<\/span>requirements<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>rather than the<\/span>\u00a0history of success\u00a0<\/span>a candidate possesses <\/span>and the actual work that need<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0to be done.<\/span>\u00a0As you shift your focus to finding candidates through this process, you will open yourself up to candidates who are looking for a long-term career opportunity, r<\/span>ather than a lateral temporary position.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Shift your search.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

You want top employees to be a part of your team. At Scion, we understand that top busi<\/span>nesses are made up of top talent. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve shifted the job searching process to dig deep and build our search on finding and connecting with candida<\/span>tes that will exceed your expectations based on their previous performance, rather than finding candidates who have resumes that check your job requirements. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We know that the best predictor of future behavior is past performance. If you want to hire people who will perform well for you for the longterm, you will need to look for talent who have performed well in the past. This means digging deep into what the applicant has accomplished.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how we do it.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Step 1<\/span>:\u00a0<\/span> We focus on what the person will need to do within their role and the relevant experience that they have accomplished in their previous roles. <\/span>This will allow us to find people that will\u00a0<\/span>be<\/span> successful in the role. There is not as strong of correlation of top performers and requirements, as compared to a history of success. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 2<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>We will s<\/span>ource great talent.\u00a0<\/span>We know that<\/span>\u00a0the best candidates are not actively looking for work<\/span>, so we use our connections and network to reach out to the best of the best for our clients.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 3<\/span>:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0We then do our due\u00a0<\/span>diligence<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>We make sure that the candidate is<\/span>\u00a0successful<\/span>\u00a0and<\/span><\/i>\u00a0that they\u00a0<\/span>have a history of success<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 4<\/span>:\u00a0<\/span>Make the close. Part<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of attracting top candidates is helping them<\/span>\u00a0to see your job as their top career move.<\/strong> Top\u00a0<\/span>candidates<\/span>\u00a0are looking for growth, challenge, and learning opportunities \u2013 not just another job.<\/span> When you show them that you can provide this, you’ll be set yourselves apart from the competition.<\/span><\/p>\n
