Attract Top Candidates With a Comprehensive Benefits Package

Offering a competitive compensation package will go a long way towards convincing job candidates to come work at your company.

The health benefits that you offer are just as important to most candidates, especially when you take into account that around 49 percent of Americans get their health insurance through an employer-sponsored healthcare insurance plan. On top of that, job candidates are also looking for flexible paid time off policies and beneficial retirement plans.

Person-Organization Fit vs. Job Fit: Hiring The Best People

Job fit vs. organization fit is the two ways in which a company chooses to hire people. While there may be somewhat of a mix, employers tend to favor one over the other. To figure out which method you lean toward, ask yourself a few questions:

• Does the person you hire need to have all the skills to do the job?
• Does a person’s personality need to fit well with the culture of your company?
• Do you have the time to train someone who doesn’t have all the skills but you like who they are?
• If you had to choose between someone’s skills or someone’s ability to work well and fit in with the team, which is more important?

If you found yourself answering those questions with answers such as: “Yes, they need the skills. No, I don’t have time to train them. I don’t care what their personality is. I just need the job done.”  Then you are probably more of a job fit hiring manager. However, if you answered the questions with: “The skills are needed, but I could train them. I really need them to work well with a team. I can teach technical skills but not the innate leadership ability they have.” Then you probably hire more with an organizational fit in mind.

Breaking Employee Motivation Into Internal And External Factors

To be motivated means to be moved to do something. Internal motivation comes from within a person, not something imposed from outside: a feeling that something is “the right thing to do” (aligns with the person’s morals, ethics or convictions). External motivation originates outside the person and can include laws or organizational regulations: expectations of other people (and probably not shared by the individual). But, as we’ll see, the line between the two types of motivation is blurred.
