Company Culture in Recruitment

As a recruiter, we should look more than just what the applicants have but also dwell more on what we reprsent as a recruiter in the company or recruitment firm.

Usually when we interview, we often look at the behavior of that person and we compare it to the position that they are actually looking for. The second thing is the "culture fit" wherein we are able to more or less predict that the person would actually fit in with the culture which the company and its people exhibit.

 

This kind of selection process is actually normal but some experts suggest that embodying the company's culture as you recruit could actually help in terms of recruiting the good candidate for the position. One way is through the way you dress. If a company prefers a "corporate" set-up which means neckties and formal blouses, then you must instill that corporate sense in you whenever you recruit. It means that you need to present a "corporate facade" especially when asking questions. On the other hand, "hip and cool" companies actually prefers a more casual setting wherein there is freedom in terms of clothing like jeans and t-shirt. If you are into this kind of setting, it is better to exert that culture during an interview process.

Even if there are a lot of things that could be done to exert this culture, the important thing here is that one recognizes that culture and preserves it for the company's good.

Good tips. Organizational culture is very important but much neglected facet while hiring. No matter how fit the person is for job, if he/she doesn't have the cultural fit sooner or later motivation will suffer. I think while hiring, behavioral aspect should also be tested to make sure if he/she fits into the particular culture. At HireLabs, recruiters can customize tests and these tests also include a behavioral aspect. For assistance: http://www.hirelabs.com
