There are two critical aspects to selecting the right person for a job:
- Having an accurate understanding of the behavioral and leadership traits needed for success in the role
- Using the right methods to screen for it.
Doing both dramatically increases your chances of making the right choice.
At Talent Acumen, we believe strongly in doing our homework to understand your culture, what makes a leader successful in your organization, and the specific skills and characteristics that are critical for the role.
