Our family was at the mall over the weekend, and we walked into a department store to look around. I noticed how many suits there were. Huge racks of suits that were all relatively similar. Nothing really stood out about them. It made me think about all the different reasons and events that would require someone to wear a suit. Each reason or event could be different, yet we're only given one option to choose from. But the moment you take that suit to a tailor and get it customized, it's instantly a 1 of 1, and it's your suit that will not fit anyone else. So why do we look at hiring as something like shopping at a department store? A Director of Sales at one company is often an entirely different thing at another company. I have seen sales roles with entirely different job descriptions. Yet we go to the same place to find the same resumes. Why not tailor your hiring to your exact needs? Quit using a blanket approach to finding the best talent and get it tailored to your culture and your company's needs.

Interview Tip of the Day for Sales Reps: Know your numbers! When asked about them, be direct and to the point. Avoid dancing around the question, as this can create doubt in the recruiter's or hiring manager's mind about your suitability for the role. When candidates can quickly and confidently tell me their revenue and profit it increases the chances of them moving forward in the hiring process! #hiring #SciensLogistics #tipoftheday

Two perfect candidates. One role. What a dilemma! The client needed a very specific sales role filled... This wasn't your average job description. It demanded a very particular set of skills, knowledge, and experience. Fast forward to the interview stage... We had not one, but TWO candidates that fit the bill perfectly. The VP was over the moon! He said, "I might just offer them both!" Yes, that's right. The search went from "difficult to fill" to "let's hire them both!" Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too? And on that day, that's exactly what we did! 🍰🍴 #recruiting #stories #manufacturing #healthcare

Scrolling for a new position? When your options are open or looking actively for a new position, consider contacting companies or your recruiter contacts inquiring about firms hiring non related positions to yours. So say ABC company is hiring a quality control manager and you are a packaging sales person, there is a window of opportunity. It shows that specific company is hiring and not gloom with doom freezes and layoffs. While that firm is hiring for a specific position unrelated to your experience, it shows they have the "money" to hire. It's definitely worth a try to contact the firm (hiring manager) or your recruiter . food for thought... #stascom #interview #looking for your next position

Our dog sitter just quoted me. It was low. She is fantastic. It didn't seem right to accept. I replied, "How about we increase it by 50%?" She was shocked but gladly accepted. Why negotiate against myself? Good people are hard to find. That goes from employees to vendors to dog walkers. Do whatever you can to keep them when you find them. She goes above and beyond. And in my opinion, should be paid as such. The lesson? When you pay a little more, you typically get a lot more. #sales #hiring #jobsearch #recruitment,

In my first sales leadership job we had to hire 50 reps in 4 months. It was a pretty intense project. One of the hardest things to control was the candidate experience. We had over 400 applicants within the first 2 weeks of opening the roles. People didn’t know what to expect and we struggled to communicate with them. If you’ve ever been on the other side of interviewing you know the things that create the most anxiety: - Not knowing how long it will take to hear back  - Not know how long the interview process is - Not know if you even have a chance Recently came across Dover and love what they are building to solve all 3 of these problems. Imagine applying for a role and immediately being able to see how long it would take to get an offer. And getting recommendations on what you can add to be a better fit based on the job description. Having been a hiring manager and a candidate, their ATS is one of a kind. If you want to attract better candidates, create a better candidate experience.  --- Curious to learn more about what Dover is building? Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gkhAkHQN
