Why Company Core Values Are So Important With Rick Girard

There’s been a hiring problem in America.  Potential employees are getting more selective and employers aren’t asking the right questions.  Author of Healing Career Wounds, host of the Hire Power Radio Podcast, and self-proclaimed hiring geek, Rick Gerard is here to address that problem.  Rick attributes his success with finding more effective ways to do things to his stubbornness.  

Where people used to compete for jobs, employers are now competing for new employees. Hiring has become a purely numbers game for the most part, but what really pulls people in might surprise you.  It used to be that people would switch jobs for better pay, now it’s all about a sense of fulfillment.  People are attracted and repelled by the values of a company. 

Rick recommends spending time on the front end, via a phone screening, to make sure a candidate is a good fit. Make sure you’re asking questions that extract evidence of someone living up to your company’s core values.  Gain an emotional buy-in by letting them convince you why they want to interview.

• Why a company’s core values are so important.
• What questions employers should be asking potential employees.
• Why Rick wrote Healing Career Wounds and where you can buy it.
