Numerous recruitment failures hamper progress in IT

With the limited supply of IT professionals, every hiring mistake is magnified. In our review of “hiring failures,” we found two related factors that stand out. Interpersonal issues associated with these failures and poor company culture are consistent (28%) with others. Most of these can be filtered out during the recruiting and interview process.

The IT Recruitment Kit provides solutions for hiring managers.

Some of the solutions outlined in the kit to minimize hiring errors are things to consider or modify in the recruiting and hiring process. Included:

Don’t hire based on an outdated job description. Times change and jobs change. Update the description. The most common mistake is not making sure the job offer matches the position. When the former employee has been in a position for a period of time, their duties change, but often job postings do not accurately represent all of the other responsibilities that have been added over time, which can result in misalignment. It is important to grasp all the responsibilities of the role before starting the recruitment process so that candidates applying are aware of the role in its true and complete form.
Look for team players. The most important quality of an IT hire is compatibility with the existing team. A newly hired employee with a “hero mentality” should be avoided. High performers leverage their entire teams, enabling them to accomplish more than just individual wins. When interviewing for jobs, look for candidates who focus solely on their own accomplishments.
Avoid inflated CVs. A bad IT hire is someone who sells themselves well in the interview but exaggerates their skills. It’s important for hiring managers to detect these types of candidates during the job search through a variety of skills tests. »
Avoid team killers. As a manager, you need to ask yourself whether it is worth sacrificing an individual for the good of the team, or the team for the good of that individual. In most cases, world-class managers choose the first option. The hardest part is when an individual is very good at their job but just doesn’t fit into the larger group culture.
Avoid bad skills. For example, an extremely bright candidate was hired for the wrong position. Everyone is impressed by their intelligence, but frustrates the individual’s manager who was trying in vain to mold him into the role he needs.
Validate motivation. Engagement during the interview process is a good sign of whether the candidate is truly excited about the position. If you are transparent about the process and culture and there is a high degree of engagement, there is a greater chance of a good fit.
Avoid red flags. You can spot the glaring red flags. Do not give them access to confidential and sensitive information before it is necessary.
Avoid rigid hiring. When recruiting new team members, leaders who are willing to be flexible in their requirements achieve the most success.
Avoid reckless individuals. When and why did you start in IT? This is the best indicator of whether the candidate will be a good fit for the team.
Avoid the prima donna. Candidates who fail to overcome their own opinions, causing divisions within his business technology department. When you resist and say that doesn’t answer all the questions or concerns, they tend to shut down.
