Post‐Recession Trend #1: QUALITY OF HIRE

Companies have been tracking hiring statistics for a long time. Typically they track cost‐of‐hire and time‐ to‐fill which suggests they are most interested in fast, cheap hires. This is changing. What's becoming most important, post‐recession, is the quality of hire.

Creating a maximum performance organization is no longer thought to be the sole result of effective management. The notion that "how you manage" is of more significance than "who you hire" is being debunked. How we go about selecting the best is being re‐evaluated. Hiring based on skill level alone is no longer seen as a reliable predictor of a quality hire...that’s because it isn't. Many companies are starting to realize the mixed results ‐ from high performers to poor performers ‐ their hiring practices are producing. As we emerge from this global recession, this wide variance in quality‐of‐hire is no longer being seen as acceptable. With four books written, Carol Quinn is an expert on the process of achievement.
