Sample Resumes the SHI Group Way for a Better Executive Recruitment China
As soon as SHI Group gets a JD from a prospective customer, we start gathering sample resumes. We do not talk to candidates as not recruiting till we have a contract.
SHI Group will pitch you three to five sample resumes that we think might be ones you would like. We ask for your feedback. Clients say, “I would be interested in interviewing candidate number one.” Or “I do not like how all sample 2’s experience is with big companies.” or “Sample three does not have enough experience in technical sales”
Small insights like this focus the hiring process and means we get you candidates that you want to interview from the start. We are not just throwing mud at the wall.
This sample process also gives our customers a look at real resumes from their industry and starts to form their thinking more specifically. Many times hiring managers have understandable trouble expressing all that is in their heart. Samples quickly and painlessly draw this out.
Other clients are not sure of their budget. SHI Group sends some samples with different salary ranges, and the results clarify their budget from the outset. This begins a better Executive Recruitment China Process.
China Headhunter Recruitment Searching
First, you have heard that recruiters spend like 10 seconds on each resume. We look deeper. The apparently bad resume often has a hidden gem for a hire. Our eyes can see them better. We do not seek perfect resumes; we seek great hires.
Second, many companies have a narrow industry focus. They have placed many people in the narrow field. So, they either take back candidates they have placed or deeply limit your pool of candidates. No good options exist.
Great China Recruitment Searching Takes So Much Effort and Thought
Third, SHI Group in the character recruiting field recruits across a vast number of industries as opposed to a narrow field. Burn out in recruiting is a big problem. So much fruitless work and same same same.
- Our recruiters always see new kinds of products and industries. The job has more color by this means.
- We complete jobs we start. When we commit to a project, we commit to bring our clients home. The recruiters, therefore, have much less burn out.
- Further, in the internet age, anyone can be found if you have enough passion to find them. Thus, the value of the niche is negated. We never fail for lack of knowledge of niche.
Our China Headhunter Searching
Fourth, as mentioned above, we commit only when we know we can bring a company home. Just last month we completed placement of a salesman for a company that had failed to place for over a year. Our experience is usually better, but I think our commitment leads to deeper thinking which leads to more remarkable searches.
Fifth, I do see we sometimes succeed as our recruiters see more clearly how each placement makes money for our customers. That insight clearly can crack open hard searches- and makes for better placements all the time.
I admit that I cannot always explain why we succeed where others fail. I am glad we do.
Search is a gritty hard job. Knowing how to face it has helped us do it better for the benefit of our customers.
Executive Recruitment China
You Need Better China Interviewing
Better interviewing in China would make the world of work here a better place, so let’s take a look.
Interviewing utilizes the principle:
Past experience is the best predictor of future outcome
If a candidate has always been hands on in his or her work, then he will likely be so in his work with you.
If a candidate merely says that is the best way, that accounts for nothing. Anyone can talk a good theory, but few can live it out.
Better China Interviewing is Key
Based on our deep experience and openness with candidates, our China headhunter team is able to get them to listen to the opportunity and get interested in it for the right reasons. SHI Group recruiters are able to draw them out and have a 90 to 120 minute very informative interview with them. Moreover, the deep details we dig to get, and the names and projects we learn about give us a base to do a very good background check. Then we can see if they have really done what they said they did. We are also leaders interviewing leaders. We have studied and implemented leadership deeply. Thus, we are able to understand your need for hands on leaders who can inspire others to great achievements. We know what that looks like and can find out who really has that.
Experiential Interviewing is Key to SHI Group Recruiting Process
Thus, you may hear about experiential interviewing. SHI Group diligently implements this.
So a first goal is to learn what the candidate says he or she did. Ask everything that is in you heart and do not hold back. We call our interview a curiosity interview
The next goal is to see how he learns. Does he always learn on his own, or does he find and use mentors? How does he make decisions and grow in his work? Is he thankful?
Our Recruitment Agency China Can Take You Far
Better Interviewing in China Needs More Thinking
Candidates are nervous in the interview. They tend to be on stage and attempt to perform. None of this helps you find out who they really are. You need to help them feel safe. Most interviewers cause the opposite and must fight themselves to work to create safety for the candidate. Curiosity is a great way to create safety.
Curiosity leads you down rabbit holes to learn in detail how they solve problems and work. Candidates like to talk about themselves. Help them to be comfortable telling you their stories without any embellishments. You know you are doing well if he or she can vulnerably say what they failed in.
China Interviewing Details Matter
Always find out in detail how, why and when they changed jobs. This is a vulnerable place, and they need enough safety. You want them to tell you the truth and most are not prone to do that. If they get the job by telling you the truth, they can feel brave to tell you the truth in awkward times when they work for you. Reach for this.
The very best interview technique cannot guarantee a good hire, but it is a step in the right direction. We take our doubts from the interview and go background check them and more. That guarantees a good hire.
The China Hiring Background Check
A China hiring background check, also known as pre-employment background screen, is not emphasized in most companies here in China. To see the legal issues in China background checking, check here. It is a lot more trouble than a cursory background check, but our business knows it is important because of what we find out. I guess you want us to find out too.
A Deep Background Check is Critical To Our Quality
We Now Have 15 Reasons for China Hiring Background Checks
Our company regularly kicks out half of our excellently qualified candidates once we do the background check. Can you imagine that half of the people with great resumes and interviewing are just pretending and unwilling to be honest? So to save our customers time, we do the background check as soon as practical. At SHI Group, we know that no one can find these fakes by interview skills alone.
SHI Group set a record recently. We were placing a GM for a Western family owned factory. It is small and troubled. Our recruiters found 15 thoroughly qualified candidates for the position. We had a candidate tell us that he worked at a company for 5 years when he only worked several months. We had a candidate tell us they were super valuable, and the company does not want to let him go. SHI Group was able to find out that this company fired him a year before while still in probation. The stories go on and on. See also 8 Signs We Have Bad China Hiring.
China Hiring Background Checks With Traction Are Critical
We Hope They Will Tell the Truth
As we unhappily proved the last of the group of 15 to be untrustworthy, we shook our heads in dismay. All 15 had lied. We are excellent at interviews and interview 90 minutes or more as our goal is to know. Despite that, we were unable to uncover these issues before the background check. That is why we background check everyone especially if they seem to be very trustworthy. Despite our vast experience, candidates often surprise us once we background check.
We had one guy tell us he was the overall manager for a big project, and he could describe in great detail all he had done. Our China hiring background check uncovered that he was a common worker under a manager who led that project.
So we could slip a lot more people into customer businesses with their great interview skills. We have 15 for you in hand now that we guess other companies will sell you. You will have a hard time knowing them that well. SHI Group will mark internally and not send these to you ever. See China Hiring Background Checks Part II.
