Step Ahead ABA’s Post

Over the years, I've had the opportunity to assess and sit in on interviews for various retail roles. I've always taken pride in my ability to determine who would be a good fit for the job. One lesson I've learned is to not discount an applicant's previous role or experience. Regardless of whether they come from a fast food chain or if this is their first real job, we should allow them to speak to their experiences and what they've handled. It's important to keep an open mind and give all applicants a fair chance. You may be pleasantly surprised by the amount of knowledge they have to offer. Let's focus on what they can bring to the table and not make assumptions based on their current or previous position. #jobinterview #retailjobs #hiringtips

If You’re Hiring at The Moment… Please don’t oversell the opportunity. I’ve recently spoken to so many people who are looking to move because the jobs they’ve taken are not what was discussed at interview. It’s currently tricky to find suitable candidates. But mis-selling an opportunity in order to make it more attractive to candidates, will only get you back to square one once they leave. It’s better to take a bit longer to find someone suitable who is happy with the opportunity you’re offering. I hope this helps. #recruitment #facman

Todays Topic; Why is it important to just have a chat ❓ Reverting back to summer of last year, (when I was transitioning into the Talent Team) I reached out to Liam on LinkedIn and we had a casual discussion regarding his career in Property Management. Even though the opportunity wasn't right for him initially, I sensed he could be an excellent fit. I maintained regular contact with him over the following months because when you have a strong intuition about a candidate, it is crucial to stay connected! Later in the year an opportunity arose that aligned with Liam's requirements, and without hesitation, I reached out to him.. (the outcome was as expected) – Liam joined us in November 2023 and is now forging a successful path in his career at JOHNS&CO. Talent/Recruitment is a rollercoaster, but if you are persistent and consistent, it can be one of the most fulfilling careers. Moral Of The Story; "If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade" 💡 Contact me on the below details and we can discuss what a career at JOHNS&CO could look like for you! 📧 - pgilder@johnsand.co 📞 - 0204 5749 764 #Hiring #newyearnewcareer #realeastate #propertymanagement #careers #sucessstory #talentacquisition #sales #lettings #businessdevelopment #JohnsAndCo

📻 Are CV's still relevant in the job hunting sector? Mike McDonagh, COO at Sigmar chatted to Newstalk's Breakfast Business show with Joe Lynam about companies not using CVs in the recruitment process. Using video applications, like Molson Coors Beverage Company have said they will do for some roles, is a very easy way to differentiate yourself in the market place and opens up a more diverse pool of candidates for companies looking to hire. Is that helping people with less formal education or hindering those who might be shy and not great at selling themselves on video? Video isn't the be-all and end-all, but as part of a wider attraction strategy it has to be considered! And it can work to sell your vacancy as well as a way for people to apply! #careers #jobs #recruitment #diversityequityandinclusion #diversity #diversityhiring #video #strategy #ireland #irelandjobs

Please check out this important video featuring last year’s Arouet Fair Chance Hiring Symposium keynote speaker Jeffrey Korzenik and featuring one of last year’s speakers and a 2024 Fair Chance Employer Honoree Ken O. as they speak to the importance of meaningful Fair Chance hiring and why it is GOOD for business, community and society. We are projecting in the next 20 years one out of four Arizonans could potentially have a criminal conviction on their record. The longer we keep creating more barriers, as opposed to more opportunities, for employment, we are going to dramatically hamstring Arizona’s #economy. We have got to make it simpler to get this incredibly important talent pool back into the workforce. Please take a minute to watch this important video featuring two of our nations leaders in this critical #FairChance space! #puttingtalenttowork. Learn more: arouetempowers.org
