Recruiting in today’s fast paced, global economy is not the same as it was even five years ago. With constant competition, identifying the right candidate is far more difficult than writing up an ad based on a job description and hiring someone that has most of those skills. And research has shown the high costs of filling a position as well as leaving it open. Developing a clear, deliberate strategy to hire the best candidate instead of “a candidate” has become increasingly important.
In this course, we’ll review best practices in acquiring talent without wasting resources. We’ll focus on what it means to hire for cultural fit and discuss the interview process. Building a strategy to maximize a return on recruiting investments is imperative. Educate and guide your management team by learning how to hire the best and save your organization a great deal of time and money.

Title: Cultural Fit Drives Engagement
Module: Summary
Duration: 1:04
I hope you will remember the engagement piece and that cultural fit, not skills, drives engagement. When someone is comfortable in their environment, they can then be engaged in their work, and then become successful.
To be engaged, an employee must buy into the Company vision and follow the senior leadership. If this person has been hired with cultural fit in mind, they will have the same values, and it will be easy for them to take the leap to seeing the vision and “engaging” with the rest of the engaged employees to move the organization forward and to grow themselves as well. Engagement of employees has shown a direct correlation to engaged customers. That is every organizations’ dream, to have engaged customers.
Hire for cultural fit, and those candidates will be engaged employees, and will help to engage your customers. A Win-Win for all!
