01. The company checklist
Companies decides who should be hired based on several traits. They too have a checklist and ideally hire the ideal candidates. So, what are these traits companies search for? Here is a peek into that checklist:
02. Thinking long term
An ideal candidate will be the one that is likely to stay in the company for long term. Companies don’t like hiring for the same position again and again. They want people who has the potential to build the company’s future. Startups mostly judge candidates on this trait a lot.
03. Changing with the company
All companies fear competition or an economic downturn. But when crisis strikes, one has to change strategy to survive. In such a situation, they want candidates to be creative and can resolve complicated situations. They would love candidate who can turn challenges into opportunities.
04. Fitting with coworkers
We spend most of our day at work and in the company of coworkers. For companies, an ideal candidate is one who easily fits into a team. The traits being understanding, respectful and reliable.
05. Bringing value
All companies judge their employees on the basis of the value they add to the organisation. So ideal candidates are the ones, whose skills will help companies to increase their revenues. Hence, one must quantify one’s work. If your work is measurable, they will be really interested.
06. As true as the CV
Ideal candidate never add any lies to their resumes. Their resumes are also error free since they get their resume reviewed by professionals. One ideal way is to ask someone senior or who usually hires people to review your CV to see if it will attract an employer’s interest.
07. Add referrers
Hiring freshers is a gamble for most companies since they do not come with any previous work experience and it’s hard to guess how they will perform. In this situation, it’s wiser to add quality references – people who can vouch for you.
08. Clean social media record
You are not just what you say in your CV. You also have a social media profile – Facebook, Twitter, Google + and LinkedIn. Hence employers would scan through the candidate’s online profiles. They would look at likes and dislikes and even political view. So, ideal candidates should have clean online footprint.
09. Upskilling and learning
You can’t be static about your skills as disruptive business models are changing market dynamics. An ideal candidate in this scenario shows real interest in upskilling and learning and implementing new skills to the workplace.
10. Getting the job done
Ideal candidates know how to deliver their work on time – they don’t throw excuses. Hiring managers want this trait if you have applied for the job.
