How do you select your future employees?
Many employers strive to find the ideal candidate who meets all the requirements of the vacancy.
However, sometimes it is better to hire a candidate who meets only 70% of the requirements.
Broad outlook
When you hire a candidate who only meets 70% of the requirements, it can result in you having a more diverse and broad-based team in the company.
New people may have experience in other industries, which can lead to new ideas and solutions to problems.
This way, you can expand the boundaries of your company and bring a fresh perspective to solving business problems.
Reduced hiring costs
Finding the perfect candidate can take a lot of time and resources. Reducing your requirements can help reduce your hiring costs because you won’t be spending as much time searching for people who meet all of your requirements.
This can also reduce the cost of advertising the vacancy and reduce the time spent on the selection process.
Skill development
Candidates may be more inclined to develop their skills. These people may be more motivated to learn new technologies and apply them in their work, as they need to fill gaps in their knowledge and experience.
This can result in your employees becoming more skilled and able to bring greater benefits to your business.
Better social adaptation
May be better able to adapt to the company and its culture. They may be more willing to work with new people and ways of working, and may be more open to new ideas and approaches.
In addition, these people can better adapt to changes in the company, as they are already accustomed to the fact that they need to adapt to new conditions.
Increasing diversity in the team
Diversity can be an important factor in success as it can lead to new ideas and improved processes.
People with fresh perspectives can bring their own unique perspective to your team and help move things forward.
High probability of successful adaptation
Newcomers are able to adapt to a new role more quickly and begin to benefit the company.
Hiring a candidate who meets only 70% of the requirements can result in you gaining a broader perspective, reducing hiring costs, developing your employees' skills, improving social adaptation, and increasing diversity on your team.
