Starting tomorrow the first of three potential new employees will begin testing in the final stage of getting hired.
Do we have an unusual process? For those who go through the process the feedback has been positive. Unlike other companies where they gage someones fit based on well they interview we look for them to demonstrate their knowledge and showcase their skills.
We start off with a simply questionnaire for them to review an article and answer three questions. At this point if we get 100 resumes only 25 respond. We weed out those who are simply going through the motions of looking for a job. After reviewing the three responses and the resumes of people who had a different view on the questions then what we had hoped to get we move forward with stage two, an online sales test. In the online sales test we look for people who can work independently, high scores for prospecting and closing. Of the 25 who answered the questionnaire 5 will be asked to complete this portion.
Of the 5 who take the online sales test we see a success rate of just over 2 fails for every 1 pass. In the last batch of tests we had 3 people pass out of 4 candidates. The final stage involves a paid working assignment.
The working assignment involves the person compiling a list of 10 potential features that if hired they could work. We evaluate based on if they features are worthy and if they will succeed. The other part involves working a live feature to generate sales. The sales portion demonstrates if they can build a relationship and produce measurable results.
When we look to hire we do not look for the ideal area to launch a paper but rather find the ideal candidate first. In our current batch of potential employees we are testing in British Columbia, news Brunswick and in Kingston, Ontario.
I will keep you posted on the results of our current testing. If you are looking for a new direction drop me a note at chase@cnrgp.com
