The best recruitment tip I've heard all year.

Hi. Hello. Welcome to this live edition of Chat of Talking Points With Jason. It's so great to have this time with you today. I'm going to share with you in a moment possibly the best recruitment tip I've heard all year. But first, I take the opportunity to remind you that today the latest edition of Chats With Jason, my regular podcast and YouTube channel has gone live. I interview Ivor Yorgov and talk about the thing, many different things like customer abuse and how it's becoming a real issue in terms of employee engagement, employee experience, because so many employees have to deal with abuse from customers. And I'm sure you've seen it like I have. You know, you go to a McDonald's or your post office or so many places, they have these signs up that say we don't tolerate abuse or towards our team members. I can remember a time when that never, that sign was never seen anywhere and people just treated others with respect. And of course you'd have the odd aggravated customer. But it's a problem that's getting out of control. So we, we break the silence. We talk about customer abuse and also how to transform experiences and achieve profit growth. That's all on the latest edition of Chats With Jason. As like I said, you can see it on YouTube and on all popular podcasting platforms. But this is Talking Points With Jason. And today I'm going to share with you what I think is an incredible piece of recruitment advice, regardless of which side of the table you're sitting on. And I have personally recruited hundreds of people. In fact, I interviewed 100 people over two days once for a job. So, and there was like 20 positions. So like, if you're a business leader, you've, you've done recruitment, I'm sure. So I was listening to Alex Amozie's podcast. Now, Alex Amozi, if you don't know him, he is these days a investor in a number of businesses. You've got to be doing over a million dollars before he'll even think of investing in you. He started out with gyms and helping gyms grow. And then from there he's become seen as a business growth and marketing influencer, certainly more on the business growth side. And he's got a venture capital firm, which he has now. Anyway, he has a podcast and I was listening to it and this is the piece of advice that he gave. If you're not learning something in the interview, then that candidate isn't the right one for you. Now, I'm paraphrasing a little bit, I'm sure. But essentially, as the hiring manager, he suggests that if they're not teaching you something during the interview, then they're not going to be an A player. They might do what you already do, but they're not going to push you to go further. Conversely, if you're the person being interviewed, how can you demonstrate your expertise by teaching the person interviewing you something about your craft? Could be a unique point of view, it could be a different way of achieving a result. But so often when you're interviewing someone, their response will be, this is an event, this is what I did, and this is the result I got. You can differentiate yourself if you add the why, your unique insight into how you achieved that result. So, like I said, I think it's absolutely wonderful to look at it this way. If you're interviewing someone and they don't bring to the interview a unique point of view, they don't stretch your thoughts on a topic, they don't perhaps even introduce you to a new topic, are they going to be an A player or are they going to just be doing the tasks that if you had the time or the energy, you could probably do yourself? I think it's really interesting way to look at recruitment and so my encouragement to you today is when you're hiring someone or if you're being interviewed, look for the candidate that is more than, more than just that gut feel that it's the right person or the person that's ticked enough of the boxes. But what is the person? What is who is the candidate that's going to help you break through, have a different lens on the same problem to achieve a better outcome? It's certainly what I like to do is to help individuals see things from a different angle so they can break through and have success. Anyway, I'd love to hear your best recruitment tips.
