"The secret of my success is that we have gone to exceptional lengths to hire the best people in the world."
Steve Jobs
You hire “exceptional leaders” because the success of your organization and your career is at stake.
As a Manufacturing Owner, Executive, or Talent Acquisition Professional when seeking leadership talent for your organization - do you recognize any of these hurdles?
Cost
Leadership Talent Acquisition is getting more expensive - Salaries are increasing, and so much money is being wasted on advertising and recruitment fees that are simply delivering average leaders…or even worse, non-performers.
Quality
The quality of leadership talent is lacking - manufacturing leaders (good and bad) know how to put the appropriate buzz-words on their resumes, but when time is taken to dig deeper we often find they don’t have the relevant quantifiable performance or depth of experience being portrayed.
Delivery
It simply takes too long to fill these critical openings - face it, filling your leadership openings is critical, and exceptional leadership talent aren’t sitting on the market long. Truly exceptional candidates have multiple offers and options and move fast.
Risk
The bad hires are on the rise - Here are the facts:
“46% of all hires will fail with 18 months, while only 19% of those hires would be considered a success in that same time period.” (LeadershipIQ)
“most workers making more than $100,000 are planning to quit their jobs within a year.” (TheLadders.com)
The costs of these statistics from poor hiring process or partners, has an impact across the whole organization…and your career. The odds seem to be no better than 50/50.
Process
Frustration with the recruiting process and partners - Recruiters who are not experienced can’t dig into the details nor truly understand your needs. This results in your wasted time going through profiles that are simply not a fit, or worse having to take time interviewing mismatched candidates.
Why hire a generalist when you need a specialist?
If you had a heart problem, you’d see a specialist right? You wouldn’t go to a general practitioner for several reasons but the most obvious reason would be that you wanted the best practitioner – someone who focuses solely on the heart.
