How to Hire the Right Fit??

Hiring the Right Fit

Getting the right person for the job is the most difficult task that many employers (esp. the HR professionals) face today. The secret of hiring the correct candidate is identifying the right fit between the individual, job-role and the company. Here comes the role of assessments. Assessments are crucial for right-fit hiring at every conceivable sourcing point including campus hiring, consultants, employee referrals, job fairs etc.

Assessment is the process of documenting, usually in measurable terms, knowledge, skills, attitudes and beliefs. It is a selection tool used both freshers and experienced employees. Assessment tools are recognised universally as good hiring mechanisms since the whole process of designing and delivering them is based on the specific requirements of a company.

How Assessments are Planned??
First a detailed study of the job role is carried out to map the skill sets required to perform that job efficiently. Then specific tests are recommended to test the skills identified and customised to the level of competency required. This helps in pinpointing the exact candidates who would perfectly fit in a role and perform efficiently.

IT and BPO sectors are the major industries which employ assessment tools, but other sectors like BFSI, engineering, FMCG, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, Public Sector Units and education also use assessments.

Dear Amit,

Was going thro' article in MANAGE HR - Six degree seperation.Could 'nt fathom as to why it is called seperation while in actual what is being done is connecting with others thro' social networking.Can you throw some light on the concept ?The concept of six seperation by STANLEY MILGRAM.....

thanks Amit.

Hi there,

Thanks for the response. Your question on why it is called six degrees of seperation whereas it is meant on connecting people is on the assumption that any two people can be connected to each other by six other people.

Stanley could have called it like 'six degrees of connectivity' etc but what I can think about the 'seperation' thing is that there are six people seperating any two people's connectivity so may be the case of choosing six degrees of seperation as a better option.

Moreover I also thought on similar lines, but could'nt get any substantial thoughts on it. Can you think of a better option??

Regards
Amit
