The old clash competence versus experience. A reflection!

At the time of hiring always comes to the fore those old issues and headaches, as it is essential to maintain the good performance of the company.

We know that in general, at the time to interview, those responsible for the human resources of most companies likely to seek professionals with more experience. However, many times this doesn’t guarantee to be the ideal professional for the job.

And in fact many companies end up systematizing, and being so rigid in their processes that eventually their collaborators get used to live in an authoritarian culture, taking a little of brightness and initiative of them.

Hiring has direct relationship with talent, passion, vision and goals of each person; perhaps to get a broader picture of the candidate, we agree that a passionate person, motivated, willing to learn and do, might contribute and take ownership with greater ease of values and goals of the company.

Analyze these aspects when hiring a person is very important.

We are in a society that tends to hire based on years of experience (which is really valid and should be valued yes), but often worry about ONLY with this aspect can come to prevent the possibility of creating a community of work more competitive and compromised with the organization.

However, the few business culture has been changing, because currently the market need not only for employees, but rather of talents, whether they have a lot of experience or not.

After all, the new models of work (home office for example) require a new approach, which work by objectives and not by time, the appointment beating overtime.

But however, certain specific activities require experience and here comes the question: “who hire”?

Some points that may serve for your company:

What are the physical and mental skills that the job requires?

What are the set goals and how it relates to the rest of the employees or customers?

What training is required of the candidate, what level of preparation is adequate if you need specific knowledge or skills, a certain type of personality or vocational training?

What you prioritize when it comes to recruit its employees? You value talent and passion? You want someone who will help provide a competitive edge, which seeks every day growth or someone eternally operating?

Remember, the true leader, is creator of new leaders. It is time the mentality of a portion of our managers change because so many are losing competent professionals.
