Here is the bottom line – past experience simply tells us what the candidate has been doing for a period of time. It does not answer the critical question of how well they have been doing it. Resumes lie and, unless you are highly trained in checking, references swear to it. Today’s premier companies recognize that an individual’s match to the position’s “Ideal Profile”, that critical combination of cognitive skills, behavioral characteristics and cultural fit to your company, business unit or department creates true business value.

This is according to the latest Executive Briefing released by PeopleAnswers America entitled “Succeed with the Soft Stuff” (by Greg Moran, October 2004). This free Executive Briefing is available for download now by clicking below.

The complexity of making a successful hiring decision today is vast. With so many competing philosophies, it can be difficult for a business professional to know how to make accurate, consistent, and effective choices among an increasingly global pool of applicants. If the organization is a small, this complexity is magnified by the lack of resources available to make these decisions.

In a quick to read, non-technical format, “Succeed with the Soft Stuff” is designed to provide the hiring manager with a high level guide to steer toward the high potential candidates and avoid the time (and money) wasters. In this Executive Briefing, you will learn:

1. What are the most important criteria to look for in any candidate;

2. How to benchmark for key success criteria and measure future candidates against this criteria; and

3. What tools are available to make the process consistent and scalable.
