I interviewed an excavation and grading laborer with 20 years experience yesterday. He said, "the day you think you know everything is the day you should quit, because there's always more to learn." 💡 Later in the day, I had a call with a fellow 20+ year talent acquisition consulting veteran who demonstrated exactly that to me. 🤓 I know I have developed a certain expertise in recruitment and hiring over a long career, and I've written some pretty good interview questions to assess values, behaviors, and personality traits. 🤔 Sometimes the questions take a long time to come up with because they need to be vague enough for easy recall of examples, while being specific enough to measure targeted values, behaviors or personality traits. And, they can't feel like trick questions, or questions with a right or wrong answer. 🤯 Until yesterday, I was against writing questions with short answers because I want to obtain evidence. I was also against using hypotheticals because the answers have too much potential to sound good without being proven. My fellow professional shared an extremely simple question that challenged my thinking and opened up a whole new box of ideas in my brain. 🫵 If you were to ask this simple question to an applicant, what do you think you'd be assessing? What would the answer tell you? What type of role or company culture would A vs B be good for? How would YOU answer it for yourself? Ready❓️ ➡️ "Would you rather follow a good plan or optimize a loose plan?" **************************************** 📸: Sunset Valley Construction #betterdirtworld #construction #hiring #recruiting #people

An engineering manager I'm working with interviewed the perfect engineer. But it didn’t turn out how we wanted it to.  They saw an engineer who was right for them. He ticked all the boxes. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 the manager wanted to see 3 other engineers before making a decision.   Reality is – in this market you’re not going to be able to interview 3 engineers just like that. And you need them to be that week, otherwise you’ll lose the engineer.   And that’s exactly what happened. In the time it took for the manager to come back to me with a decision, that engineer was snapped up by a competing site.   Just leaving this here to let engineering managers know that I'm a recruiter (not a genie who is going to grant you 3 wishes instantly).   #Recruiter #Engineering #Hiring

For engineers, attitude is SO important.    Having the right attitude will go a long way in your job search and career.    What stands out to me and maintenance/engineering managers: They’re enthusiastic     Really listen to the details     You only have to tell them once    It would sway a lot of hiring managers choice when deciding between candidates. Do you agree?   #MaintenanceEngineer #Recruiter #Atittude
