3 RECRUITMENT LESSONS WE CAN LEARN FROM OLYMPIC SPORTS
Managing the national Olympic teams is a lot like managing a commercial recruitment process, the athletes' availability issues, and qualification requirements. You must keep a close eye on what you have at your disposal and ensure that the correct individuals are placed where they are most needed.
We came up with 3 crucial recruitment pieces of advice you should bear in mind to better your selection process, inspired by this year's particularly memorable Olympic Games in Tokyo.
STIMULATE TOP TALENTS
Players who win the Olympic tennis competition do not receive any compensation, and while patriotism and status play a role, top-tier tennis players frequently save their energies for matches that result in ATP points and large sums of money.
If you want to hire a professional with several job offers, the lesson here is to lure valuable applicants with a rich salary, perks, and bonuses for professional success.
MEDALS ARE NOT GUARANTEED FOR ALL-STAR TEAMS.
Bringing together the greatest experts in their disciplines and expecting magic to happen on its own is a mistake that has led many recruiters astray. Workflow is dependent on your team's professional capabilities, but without positive energy, strong communication, and the willingness to compromise, you'll wind up with a bunch of pricey workers that don't deliver.
Keep in mind that you'll need to assemble a group of people who can see beyond their titles, accomplishments, and egos.
IF YOU SEE POTENTIAL, DO NOT BE AFRAID TO HIRE A BEGINNER.
This year, we've witnessed lots of new young athletes, some of whom are still in their mid-teens, win medals despite the fact that their abilities were up against those of their more experienced peers. Many of these athletes were unknown to the general public before the event, but some close watchers saw their promise from the outset.
Keep an eye out at all times for rising stars waiting for their big break; if you spot someone with significant professional experience, your clients will be forever grat
