Description


Conducting a good recruitment interview is hard. It is much harder than people expect, and the process often fails with the wrong type of person hired. They are either a bad fit for the job, or unable to do it. This is a big drain on resources with costs upwards of $75,000.
In order to hire the right people into your organisation, your interview process must be reliable, consistent and fair. However, interviewing is more than just a process. You are looking to hire people with hopes, desires and aspirations for the future. Beyond engaging with the task of interviewing is the understanding of how people engage with the process. 
Everyone is busy and is involved working through challenges. Recruitment and selection interviews are part of a two way process. There is no excuse for ignoring this and the fact that you are dealing with people. You are making decisions that could have a major influence on their lives. 
What if emotional intelligence was applied to this fundamental and vitally important process? It’s not hard but it is so easily overlooked.
Recruiting and interviewing is not merely turning the handle of a machine to produce a widget. You are engaging the services of an experience, talented person interested in growing their career.
You also need to effectively work with the emotions of the candidates you are interviewing to give them a good experience that is consistent, fair and well managed leaving them feeling that you have been empathetic and that you have valued their input.
Companies with staff who have higher levels of emotional intelligence have 63% less turnover than companies with lower levels of emotional intelligence.  Emotionally intelligent recruiters are more likely to identify and hire emotionally intelligent candidates faster, resulting in a cohesive, productive, and collaborative work culture.
