Hope Is Not A Hiring Strategy

CareerBuilder,Monster and

the Classifieds behind!

Today's job market provides so many great tools for job seekers. From creating professional resumes to learning to best answer all the top interview questions these resources are just a click of the mouse away. This has led to General Managers and HR directors sifting thru massive stacks of poor-fit resumes hoping to reach their ideal candidates.

Ask any General Manager or HR director if they have hired someone that they ended up wishing they had never met and you will get a grin and a "yes".

Ask the same General Manager or HR director if they have hired someone that was an absolute champion and you will get the same "yes".

With traditional job searches lacking the ability to identify the champions many dealerships are turning to iWorkZone for talent matching.

There are three major factors that influence an employee's performance. They are the culture of the dealership, the behavioral makeup of the individual and the motivational drive of the individual.

The simple truth is that if the culture is right and the person is right (behaviors and drive), then the dealership succeeds. That’s not to say that great management isn’t needed, because great management that continuously invests is a part of the culture formula for success. Whether you call your leaders “Level 5” or the “360 Degree Leader” or even “The One,” they are who they are because they have developed a specific pattern of behavior and specific skills. The dealerships that are the most profitable, as studied by Harvard, Gallup, and more, are the ones that do the following five things.

1. They invest time and money is developing their teams and the potential of each individual.

2. They measure performance and give good feedback.

3. They seek out talent and actively recruit them.

4. They take their time and invest heavily on the front end to ensure they hire the right people.

5. They recognize and celebrate successes and use mistakes as opportunities to learn. This means that they are behaviorally focused when it comes to what is going right and what is going wrong.

iWorkZone facilitates the process of making dealerships and individuals great! They integrate into the dealerships leadership and facilitate growth, development, and culture. The tools that we use with your teams are strategically designed to facilitate cultures of success.
