In the current labour market, there are 2️⃣ main approaches by organisations, when they are looking for candidates: The first approach is to accept ANY type of candidate, even if he/she only partially meets the requirements. Obviously, it's not the ideal approach, but considering the acute shortage of people in all areas, the organisation can meet its objectives, at least to a certain extent. The second (and most common) approach is that of the "eternal search for the ideal candidate". In short: the candidate must be a graduate of the ideal school, must have passed 100% exactly through those stages and must have exactly that number of years of experience, no more and no less. And of course, the field from which it comes must be same as that of the hiring company. Needless to say, result is: the recruitment processes never end with the second approach. Instead, frustration grows on both sides: on the part of the company but also on the part of the candidates who believe that, although they have the potential, they are not given a chance because now they are not " perfect". Conclusion: any recruitment process is actually a bet. An investment of TRUST ON BOTH SIDES that things will go well and there will be mutual benefits in the future. So, the most balanced approach is the one in which the company and the candidate create together a calendar 📅 in which the future employee (with permanent company support) will achieve the necessary expertise to correspond with what the company needs ‼️👍 #AndreiVuta #StructureandClarity #jobcandidates #recruitment #Linkedin

Rebranding isn’t just for companies. Despite having a strong professional background and a wealth of experience, I felt a disconnect between who I was and how I was presenting myself to the world. My personal brand seemed to lack the essence of what truly made me unique. Rebranding isn’t just for companies; it’s equally crucial for individuals. It's about rediscovering yourself and aligning your personal and professional identities. Here’s how I approached it: 1. Self-Reflection: I took a step back to reflect on my journey, my achievements, my passions, and my goals. I asked myself, "What do I stand for? What value do I bring to the table?" 2. Feedback: I reached out to trusted colleagues, mentors, and friends for their honest feedback. Understanding how others perceived me helped me identify areas that needed a fresh perspective. 3. Learning and Growth: I invested in learning new skills and staying updated with industry trends. Personal growth became an integral part of my rebranding journey. Rebranding is an ongoing process, and it requires effort and dedication. But it’s also incredibly rewarding. If you’re feeling stuck or misaligned, maybe it’s time to consider a rebrand. Embrace the journey and let your true self shine through. My name is Grace Akoth, and I work with businesses to offer HR Consultancy services and Training. I empower individuals/job seekers to articulate their skills, accomplishments, and unique value propositions.

May I just… ? At the core of #mentalhealth is the idea of #resilience: the premise that a person can experience various issues, setbacks and personal disasters, but it is their ongoing ability to endure, or to recover from these problems that is important. This means that there is an expectation that events will not always go smoothly, but it is not the initial reaction that counts: instead, what matters is how well the individual can understand and accommodate each impact before trying to move on. “ I believe that the word ‘just’ is also a gateway word” #mentalhealthweek

Wikipedia states “Ghosting, simmering and icing are colloquial terms that describe the practice of suddenly ending all communication and avoiding contact with another person without any apparent warning or explanation and ignoring any subsequent attempts to communicate.” Gen Z seems to have started to find ways to make ghosting in friendship or a serious relationship a more acceptable form of communication and rejection. In reality, it’s just a way to prevent and hide oneself from confrontation. “Mental health professionals have found that ghosting can be classified as a form of emotional cruelty. In an online survey, those who experienced breadcrumbing (leading someone on) or a combination of breadcrumbing and ghosting were shown to have an increased feeling of loneliness and helplessness and/or a decreased satisfaction with life” – MedicineNet Ghosting could lead to deep emotional distress which impacts mental well-being. Let’s help  Zoomers to be more open in their communication and assert themselves. Let’s show them the path of setting healthy boundaries so that they can break their silence and stand their ground. If they have been ghosted, let’s empower them to hold the person who hurt them, to be accountable for their behaviour. Healthy boundaries are important as they create a safe and supportive environment for everyone, particularly Gen Z to support their learning and growth.

𝐀𝐧 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐆𝐚𝐩𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 As a seasoned HR professional, I’ve had the privilege of working with various teams. During this journey, I encountered a dedicated team with a history of failure. What went wrong? It became clear: the empty chair of leadership. In any organization, a motivated team is a key asset. However, without strong leadership, even the most enthusiastic teams can falter. The absence of a guiding force – the empty chair of leadership – can lead to significant losses and missed opportunities. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Motivated teams have the energy to work hard, but without clear vision, this drive becomes directionless. Efforts may not align with organizational goals, leading to inefficiencies and wasted resources. A leader provides necessary focus, ensuring every action contributes to a larger objective. 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐎𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Leadership is crucial for identifying and seizing new opportunities. Without it, teams may lack the strategic foresight to innovate and capitalize on trends, resulting in stagnation. Competitors with strong leadership gain the edge. 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 Over time, motivation can wane if team members don't see progress or feel their efforts are impactful. Leaders inspire, set clear goals, and celebrate achievements, maintaining morale and engagement. Without this, enthusiasm can turn to frustration and disengagement. 𝐋𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 Without leadership, accountability suffers. Confusion about roles and responsibilities can lead to tasks falling through the cracks or being duplicated. A leader ensures clear structure and understanding of roles, fostering cohesion and efficient operation. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐎𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 Leadership gaps impact more than the immediate team. They affect overall organizational success, leading to inefficiencies, missed deadlines, and reduced profitability. Strong leadership is essential for the health and growth of the organization. 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫 Recognizing the critical role of leadership is vital. Ensuring every team has a strong leader, investing in leadership development, and providing clear pathways for leaders to emerge can transform a visionless team into a powerhouse of innovation and productivity. The empty chair of leadership signifies lost potential and unfulfilled goals. By filling this chair with capable, visionary leaders, organizations can harness the true power of their motivated teams and drive towards sustained success. #Leadership #TeamSuccess #Motivation#VisionaryLeadership #OrganizationalGrowth #Innovation #TeamDevelopment #LeadershipGaps #HRLeadership #Consulting #BusinessGrowth

Have you heard? Another rejection. You– again, just one out of hundreds of candidates. Oh, fate foils us.  Again, and again! What must we do? We have tried crossing fingers, waiting, and the tried “weighted” die– but none luck (And misfortune again, I confess there is no weighted die in the resume world) But as we wait with our crumpled resume and disordered spirits,  Another applicant strides by with feverish eyes. This is Nancy Jones. She is a resume legend by this point. Foiled twice more than we– She is determined. And is just now launching a new offensive: A resume formatting offensive. Alas, let us rally to this cause! But there is more to this. Nancy Jones is using hard skills targeted to her selected job description. (See previous posts on these wonder keywords) This is just one part of her resume but it’s an important step. Without targeted hard skills (keywords), she is less likely to be qualified by the recruiter.  After all– if the recruiter notices Nancy doesn’t have the skills mentioned in the job description: Why should he approve her? Here’s the plan: First, Nancy compiles a list of 12-15 hard skills strategically relevant to her targeted job. For this, she will scan her job description for applicable hard skills. Second, she formats the new skills within the top third of her resume. Nancy knows they need to be accessible to the recruiter.. He will have very limited time and she wants her skills to catch his attention immediately when he is scanning the resume. But she also doesn’t want to waste resume space. Knowing this, she creates a 4x3 row including her skills in bullet points without the line border. For each spot available she places a skill, providing the recruiter with an accessible but efficient format to assess her skills again– within the top third of her resume. Third–well, that’s it. Really, it’s that simple. For now, that is, more best practices to come) Later, as I mope about the rigours of fate, Nancy Jones walks up to the recruiter in a different, much more drab setting. He looks up from a squeaky swivel chair with hollow eyes:    “Oh, hey, wow. You’re back–That is actually crazy.”  And with a brief hello, she takes her resume and sets it down on the tower of papers.   (She is a bit bold, so she stands up and places it on the very top of the stack)  Regarding this part of the resume, there is nothing more she can do, but she is confident the best is done.  Her hard skills are listed in the top third of her resume.   They are targeted to the job description.   And they support the value proposition of her resume: the value she brings to the employer.  Happy day.  But–this leaves one question:   What are your hard skills?

For employers that operate or hire in the EU, the time to prepare is now. While 2026 may seem far in the future, some countries may choose to proceed on a quicker timeline. What’s more, implementing a pay equity and pay transparency strategy is not as easy as flipping a switch. #paytransparency #EUEmploymentLaw #humanresources #compensation #REBA

Why are my leaders not ambitious? #growth mindset #employeeaspirations #leadershipambition Friends, I'd like to share with you a somewhat strange phenomenon that I've been observing in the last several months in terms of a specific ask from clients. One of the things I hear many clients ask of us is if we coach their leaders to become more ambitious. They even use the term “growth mind-set” quite loosely to say, “they should be coached to be hungrier for growth”. This has set me thinking and as we speak, my thoughts are by no means well formed, but there are a few possibilities that are emerging which I'd like to share with you. My discussions with various leaders at various stages of their careers leads me to believe that there are three important voices to pay attention to: 1. I am not convinced about my organisation’s plans While everyone wants to grow 5X or 10X in 3 years or 2 years, leaders and managers don’t seem to see how that is possible. While they may have said yes nominally, they have not bought into it. Unfortunately, very little conversations take place around this. One way communication is seen as buy-in. 2. I am not excited about your plans Even if people have bought into the plans, many may not be excited about these plans. They do have aspirations but for other things. Their purposes may not be reflected in these aspirations. Their life circumstances and life agendas may not give them the mind space to engage with these lofty aspirations, in the manner in which the organisation wants them to. How much does anyone care about what the employee wishes for? Do we want him or her to aspire only for those things that are good for the organisation? 3. I don’t think I can do it This is perhaps the most critical one. Just paying someone more money, giving someone more stocks, giving someone a larger position and title does not necessarily make that person more competent. The gap between demands and resources to meet those demands has never ever been wider that it is today. This situation when prolonged can lead to burn out. Who is taking the effort to help employees become competent and feel competent to join the organisation in its ambitious journey? I think we have reached a crucial point in corporate India today, where we will really need to ask what we can do more and differently to take employees along with us in our journey of growth. Until then, employees may not seem ambitious to us.

Exaggerate in Gratitude, in Smiles, in Hugs: We die once, but we live every day! Dear network, Today, I would like to share a reflection that stays with me and that I believe is a powerful message for all of us. In a world where the rush of everyday life often makes us forget about small joys, it is essential to remember to value every moment. 🌟 Exaggerate Gratitude: Give more thanks, whether for a small gesture of possession or for great achievements. Gratitude transforms our perspectives and connects us more deeply with others. 😊 Exaggerate Smiles: A smile can change someone's day, including your own. Smiling opens doors, creates connections and spreads positivity. Don't skimp on smiles! 🤗 Exaggerate with Hugs: A hug is a powerful form of communication. It's a physical reminder that we are not alone. Hugging someone can offer comfort, support, and unconditional love. Remember: we die once, but we live every day. Every day is a new opportunity to be better, to make a difference and to experience the beauty of life. #Communication #HR #People Management #Leadership #Career Joel Costa
