MyAdvisor™ - Job Candidate

No votes yet

Recruitment, either from within or externally, is a challenging task. Evaluation of a job candidate requires balancing the needs - and varying opinions - of multiple stakeholders, and it is the job of the HR representative to keep the process on track and focused on finding the candidate who can help the organization remain competitive. When evaluating for a technical or managerial role, an objective approach to evaluating against criteria for education, communication skills, and innovative methods, for example, helps determine the right person for the job.

Criteria

To create a strategic, consistent employee selection process, you need metrics that are repeatable, aligned with business objectives, and reflective of your current state and strategic goals. Selection criteria must be flexible enough to account for different job descriptions, yet consistent enough to ensure that each HR selection affords all candidates due consideration.

The criteria used in MyAdvisor - Job Candidate represent key considerations that many employment selection processes have in common. A standard form allows the evaluator to rate up to eight candidates against a set of statements that best describe their respective attributes and qualifications. Ratings can be fed into MyAdvisor - Job Candidate to compare and rank candidates against the qualifications and skills necessary to perform the job successfully and with the greatest impact on the organization. MyAdvisor - Job Candidate uses the following criteria to select the best candidate for the job:

  • Education/Training;
  • Work Experience;
  • Technical/Management;
  • Time Management;
  • Interpersonal Skills;
  • Supervising/Leadership;
  • Developing Others;
  • Customer Service; and
  • Innovation/Improvement

MyAdvisor - Job Candidate can be used for:

  • Hiring of a supervisor or manager,
