I've helped exceptional UK businesses like M&S and Carphone Warehouse scale their businesses and build phenomenal cultures by hiring the right people. Now I help SMEs hire their senior teams and help you grow too.
Transferable skills…..🧐 Hiring people from other sectors can bring real added benefits to some businesses especially in new sectors or sectors where there is a shortage of candidates. You just need to make sure you have a thorough process to test those skills or you could make some costly mistakes…see below 😩 Happy National Pets Day all…..
Is that the one and only?
What a lovely photo Bridie Cunningham totally focused 😃
Bridie Cunningham couldn’t agree more with you. We have a dog like yours who also enjoys a bit of internet surfing!
I would definitely hire that pooch!!
There can be numerous benefits to hiring candidates from other sectors, including fresh perspectives, diverse skill sets and the potential for innovation and cross-pollination of ideas. Unfortunately, due to perceived risk, the vast majority of employers will continue to prioritise candidates with industry-specific experience and proven track records.
I know industries that are closed to "outsiders" at their peril. Inbreeding is not good for the gene pool...
Haha love this 😂 Great message though. Many skills are transferrable and we may even learn something new from a candidate from another sector.
Transferable skills are a valuable resource. However, a rigorous testing process is crucial to ensure a seamless fit and avoid prospective pitfalls in hiring decisions, Bridie Cunningham. 💪
