I was talking with a friend today about her new job which she's been working at for about 4 weeks. In talking with her she was ecstatic about the position. Not only because she'd found an opportunity, but because she found the "right" opportunity. She was excited because her job matched her skill set, her experiences, what she wanted out of new role and she was also working with a group of folks that she was genuinely interested in learning from. Because of these elements she's genuinely excited about her new gig.
As Recruiters it's our job to align opportunity with talent. Taking this a step further, it's our job to also align the desire and motivation of talent with opportunity. When we do each of these things, you then have applicant like my friend, who is excited and enthused at coming to work every day.
Even though it's only week 4 in her new role I'm betting that because her desire and motivation are aligned to the opportunity she's committed to she's definitely going to be there awhile. Because of this, they have a talented employee who is fully committed to the organization which also means they have an employee who is focused on doing her best work for the greater good of the company. Isn’t this ultimately, what having the best of the best means?
