480-716-5333At Potere Search, when we evaluate prospective candidates, we always want to ensure we pass along candidates who will remain with our clients for years and continue to provide value to the business. Our approach to reducing employee turnover is to look backward and forward to help us make the proper selections. It starts by eliminating the resumes of those who have been in their current position for less than 2 years in most cases or three in some other positions. We need to know that the person will take the bad with the good and not abandon our client after the first difficult project or hard week that pushed them to the edge of their comfort zone or even a bit beyond.
Predicting The Future
No one can see the future. However, with enough historical information and practice evaluating the skills, personal desire, and drive of an employee, the team at Potere Search can make a very reliable prediction of their capability for growth and where they could be in two, three, or five years. Historically, if they have been working for a company that was at $100M in revenue when they were hired but grew into a $300M a year business during their tenure, they have seen and experienced the process of growth and new expectations from their superiors.
We also evaluate the foundation they have built for their future. Are they planning to grow and increase their skillset with certifications, added degrees, or mentorship programs? Are they investing their time and effort in their future because they have the desire to learn and do more? These are the candidates who are showing us rather than saying that they want to progress to be and do more with their future. Change excites these people instead of making them stressed or fearful.
The Potere Search Process
The team at Potere Search often begins to identify these reliable and dedicated candidates on their first visit to our office. They are at ease in the new setting, eager to speak to our staff and learn more, and want to share that desire when they explain why they have come to the office for an interview. They are looking for that next step on their journey and the company they will be dedicated to helping grow to meet its goals.
