Importance of Recruitment Provides organization with a pool of qualified candidates The more qualified the pool the better the success rate in selection Can help the organization meet affirmative action goals Can increase organizational effectiveness
How to measure quality of hire Quality of hire shouldn’t be a subjective measurement. Define the factors that drive top performance for a particular role, then measure quality through performance reviews, hiring manager satisfaction surveys, and retention tracking. You may also choose to measure the time it takes for a new hire to reach full productivity . The key stages in your recruitment funnel for improving your quality of hire are Awareness, Attraction, Assessment, and Interviewing. How to improve quality of hire 12/29/2023 Hisham Sharawy 9
How to measure time to hire It would be great to measure time to hire from the moment a prospective candidate first enters your recruitment funnel, but realistically, you can only measure this from the time they first make contact; usually at the application stage. Knowing your average time-to-hire for different roles is extremely valuable in terms of helping you accurately gauge how long it will take to fill a vacant role in the future. Ensure subsequent communication, such as acknowledging receipt of the application, is automated. How to improve time of hire 12/29/2023 Hisham Sharawy 10
How to measure cost per hire Cost per hire is calculated by dividing the internal and external recruitment costs by the total number of hires in a set period. Benchmarks range from $4000 per hire to $18,000+ for executive positions. Review the cost of your job ad placements. Are you posting in too many places? Are some more expensive than others? And, if so, are they providing ROI as an effective source of hire? How to improve cost of hire 12/29/2023 Hisham Sharawy 11
Why track source of hire? Keeping track of where new employees are coming from can be useful for refining your talent attraction efforts. Organizations can use this recruitment funnel analysis data to inform decisions such as ramping up social media, investing in a premium ad on a job board, or switching recruitment agencies . Tracking source of hire is much more effective than tracking source of candidate. After all, you want to know where the best performers are coming from, not the candidates who don’t make the grade.

Lecture (5) Selection and Testing 12/29/2023 Hisham Sharawy 26
What is PBI and why is it Important? Philosophy of Performance Based Interviews (PBI) is that: Past actions are the best predictors of future performance Why is effective interviewing so important? Hiring top quality individuals Define the relevant experience, skills and abilities needed to perform the job successfully will help to identify the best qualified candidate Above information is also useful for posting and screening
Before Interview: Steps to Identify Essential Tasks of the Position Review the position description Talk to individuals in a similar or the same position Document detailed tasks to be performed outside of PD Identify most important competencies/tasks for the position Review the history of turnover and future expectations Use this information in developing interview’s formatting Job posting and behavioral interview questions
Performance Based Interviews Using interviewing to Select the best candidate can: Increase output, productivity and the success of the organization Reduce training time Decrease turnover Utilizing Performance Based Interview techniques can: Prevent the interviewer from using personal impressions Reduce candidate “faking” Ensure that the interviewer is asking j ob related questions
Interview is Not the Only Tool It is important to remember that the Performance Based Interview process is a useful tool to assist in candidate selection, but it should not be the only decision-maker factor. Should also consider: Relevant experience and credentials indicated on the application or resume Information provided in reference checks
“Gut Feelings” Activity View each image individually for about a minute or two, choose four adjectives to describe each image After, break into groups to compare and discuss the adjectives chosen
Interviewing Procedures Check for a diverse pool Select minimum of 3 candidates for interviews Must meet minimum qualifications for position Telephone screening interviews for first interview are not always required Top candidates must receive face-to-face interview Be consistent/fair in interview method
Behavioral Interviewing (Actions Speak!: Behavior Based Interviewing) “ Past actions are the best predictors of future performance ” OBJECTIVES: Understand the concept of behavioral attitude Learn steps for adjusting behaviors Develop good behavioral consequences
Stress Interviews Stress interviews involve questions that are deliberately intended to make you uncomfortable or upset. This is usually a test of how you will handle stress on the job. Remain calm and take your time in responding to the questions. The questions are not intended to be taken personally. 12/29/2023 Hisham Sharawy 64
Situational Interview Because every industry and job role has a unique set of challenges and opportunities, employers assess how well candidates are prepared to manage these sudden , unexpected and new circumstances before they make a hiring decision. Situational interview questions focus on how you'll handle scenarios you may or may not encounter in the workplace and how you will be able to think in both analytical and creative way to handle these situations. These types of interviews are similar to behavioral interview questions – but they are focused on the future, imagination, creativity and ask hypothetical questions, whereas behavioral interview questions look at the past and related to the same experiences. 12/29/2023 Hisham Sharawy 65
Situational Interview Questions What would you do if you made a strong recommendation in a meeting, but your colleagues decided against it and this will reflect on firing you? What would you do if you lose the presentation, you are going to introduce in front of the president? How would you handle it if your team resisted a new idea or policy you introduced at the last moment ? How would you handle it if the priorities for a project you were working on were suddenly changed due e nvironmental crisis? What would you do if the work of an employee you managed Put you in trouble, It’s you or him? What would you do if an important task was not up to standard, but the deadline to complete it had passed and your performance for whole year will be evaluated accordingly? 12/29/2023 Hisham Sharawy 66
S-T-A-R Technique S Situation When I worked as a camp counselor last summer, there was one day that it was raining very heavily so that 150 6-11 year old boys had to spend the day in the recreation hall. T Task I was the most senior counselor at the time with 4 junior counselors and 3 CITs. We knew we had to keep the boys active the entire day. A Action All of the counselors were allowed to have their cell phones just in case so I quickly used my phone to do a google search for STEM classroom challenges. I was surprised to find so many but the other counselors and I divided the group into 4 groups so that each group had 2 counselors. The supplies were easy to find so we were able to do many of the challenges. R Result Not only did it turn out to be a really fun day but I now have a number of activities I can use for team building and other ice breakers (and I learned some STEM principles along the way). 12/29/2023 Hisham Sharawy 67
Interview Tips Establish rapport Provide a preview of position Ask specific questions about past performance (behavioral predictors) Probe for specific information Ask for reverse information/questions (fair and balanced) Respect and manage silence Allow the candidate to ask questions Close the interview Review notes and summarize your impressions
