In today’s economy, there are more people out of work, so the pool for hiring is vast. In my own personal interactions, it also seems that people are ready for change in their careers to do more of what they really love as opposed to what they have been trained to do. So when you are hiring, you will be faced with two types of people; 1. The people who have the knowledge to perform the job and 2. The people who are passionate about what you do, but may not have all of the necessary training…So, who do you hire?
First you will have to take into consideration the type of job. Clearly, if you have an open position for a professional of specialty, then the necessary education and training are of the highest importance, but that does not mean that you will have to sacrifice the passion.
1. Create the right job description. The job description is more than just how many years experience a person has in a specific field. For example, I have a colleague who is one of those people looking to change careers for something he is interested in. In his search, he applied for a high level sales position with a telecom company. He has had amazing success in sales of all types of technology products and services. Unfortunately, the job description made it a requirement to have sold specific telecom equipment for any of their competitors. The process was so automated, that a real person did not even look at the experience and how successful this individual has been within the same clients, but for different products. So, in the same automated fashion, he was rejected with not so much as a glance at his resume. The point is, the job description was so ridged, that a candidate with great success and passion for their company was overlooked entirely because the job description was black and white.
