Achievement Based Hiring
Performance Based Hiring is a proven process that has been adopted by many employers because it significantly reduces hiring mistakes by avoiding bad hires. Our latest innovation of these principles at Bradford Consulting Companies is now called Achievement Based Hiring.
By working with us, you’ll discover where and how to find and hire the best and brightest employees. A bold claim, but true. We’ll prove it. Just give us a call.
Top people are looking for growth, challenge, and learning opportunities, not another job. Top people are always in demand. You must use a different process to attract the best.
The most important core competency
Hiring top employees should is the number one core competency of every company. Unfortunately it isn’t! Jack Welch said it best in the following quote from his book:
Jack: Straight From the Gut
Improving performance doesn’t happen by putting a slogan into place or giving lip service to the idea. It happens because you put the right people in place to make it happen. People first. Strategy and everything else next.
GE focused on performance. It began with hiring and continued with a rigorous job performance evaluation process. Under performers were let go. “A” performers were mentored and trained for ever bigger roles. But the process started with a clear understanding of what outstanding performance looked like.”
Where Achievement Based Hiring Begins
Achievement Based Hiring starts exactly where Jack Welch said it should – by beginning with a clear understanding of what outstanding performance looks like! That’s why you’ll read a lot about Achievement Profiles here on our site. It’s one of the key components of the Achievement Based Hiring Process.
Achievement based selection does fall under the category of behavioral interviewing, but our method is much easier to teach and learning is better internalized when compared to traditional behavioral based interviewing methods.
You’ll read a lot about Achievement Based Hiring on our web site….and for what I believe is a very good reason.
Simply put, it is the best, most effective and easily understood hiring methodology that I have seen in my 40 plus years of recruiting!
It’s value lies in the high-quality, end-result produced and the ease with which it can be disseminated within your company. This specific method takes behavioral interviewing to a new level!
Certifying Hiring Teams World-wide in Performance Based Hiring
I have worked with some of the largest, best known American companies as well as fast-moving start-ups in just about every industry you can name. From the broom closet to the boardroom. Simply put, it works and lives up to its reputation.
Now I’ve taken what I’ve learned from years working with Performance Based Hiring and developed my Hiring Success Factors methods which incorporate my 40+ years of recruiting and hiring expertise.
