How to select the best candidates – and avoid the worst

Investing thousands of pounds in the recruitment and training of each new graduate recruit may be just the beginning. Choosing the wrong candidate may leave an organisation paying for years to come.

Few companies will have escaped all of the following failures: people who panic at the first sign of stress; those with long, impressive qualifications who seem incapable of learning: hypochondriacs whose absentee record becomes astonishing: and the unstable person later discovered to be a thief or worse.

Less dramatic, but just as much a problem is the person who simply does not come up to expectation, who does not quite deliver; who never becomes a

high-flyer or even, a steady performer, the employer with a fine future behind them.

The first point to bear in mind at the recruit twin stage is that people don't change. Intelligence levels decline modestly, but change little over their working lite. The same is true of abilities, such as learning languages and handling numbers.

Most people like to think that personality can change, particularly the more negative features such as anxiety, low esteem, impulsiveness or a lack of emotional warmth. But data collected over 50 years gives a clear message: still stable after all these years. Extroverts become slightly less extroverted: the acutely shy appear a little less so, but the fundamentals remain much the same Personal crises can affect the way we cope with things: we might take up or drop drink, drugs, religion or relaxation techniques, which can have pretty dramatic effects. Skills can be improved, and new ones introduced, but at rather different rates. People can tie groomed for a job, Just as politicians are carefully repackaged through dress, hairstyle and speech specialists, so people can be sent on training courses, diplomas or experimental weekends. But there is a cost to all this which may be more than the price of the course. Better to select for what you actually see rather than attempt to change it.

The Road to Promotion

One of the most important reasons most people give when asked why they chose their particular profession is that they thought that this certain work would be challenging, offer them personal fulfillment, social recognition, and a feeling of self-worth. The outward sign of such recognition is being promoted at work Considering all of the above, we might well ask who gets promoted in American companies today

Most people who gain promotions are, first of all, well educated Many hold advanced degrees in science law, or engineering Those who are promoted to president of the company, most likely first served as vice-president They all tend to be mobile and willing to go wherever the company wishes to send them.

They do not seem to be getting younger Although ageing is touted as a distinct drawback to advancement those promoted to high positions in industry average out at about age forty-seven Most vice presidents and presidents of companies say that staving on the job for about five or ten years is important

In most cases, those who get promoted have beta with the company for a long time Twelve years is the average length of time during which the promoted executives served their company Most of those promoted had work experience in the fields of finance or administration.

There is an indication in recent surveys which points to the fact that personal determination and ambition are the most obvious factors that decide promotion. People who get promoted have been highly goal-oriented Obviously, the employee who never dreams of getting to the top usually just doesn't make it there.

Dedication to the company and especially to the boss also helps as does being liked and accepted by one's fellow employees, but these personal aspects are not as important as they used to be Education and professional competence have become the key considerations
