We want to encourage you to see your staff differently.

 

Ultimately we're creating futures where individuals can craft their own job spec based on their intrinsic wiring and motivation. Here they  are given agency to decide how they would like to utilise their time creatively, whilst still meeting the objectives of the organisation, by bringing their whole selves to work. 

​

This is done through a mutually inclusive understanding  of both their unique set of Strengths and  'interdependent rules of engagement©'

​

"The biggest gains businesses will see in the next 10 years will lie within hiring the right managers and maximising the strengths of every single employee"

What is Strengths-based Recruitment?

​

We believe assisting people to place themselves in the right roles & environment for them, based on their Strengths, has the potential for exponential growth of self and the organisation. This doesn’t mean we discount the candidate’s qualifications, knowledge, and experience. Instead this adds to the process to ensure value congruency within the environment and the organisation, as well as looking at how a person is naturally energised and inclined towards their role -their passion.

​

 

 

What are Interdependent Rules of Engagement?

 

Interdependent Rules of Engagement is learning who we are, and what we need, in order to bring our whole selves to a situation,  together as part of an interactive group who come together with a mindset of win/win, recognising that we each have value to bring collectively. 

​

In order to deal with healthy conflict, we have to find mutual ways of engaging and this requires a conscious intentional interaction between teams and individuals. This  may also mean interviewing a person who is able to  interdependently realise they are actually not right for the position on offer. This is why we bring this into our recruitment process as an introduction to new ways of engagement which is mutually beneficial and preventative,  away from conflict resolution. This forms part of our corporate organisational programme which you can read more about here. 

 

In simple terms, to understand interdependence,  it's easier for you to consider the other three dependent rules of engagement that are at play.

 

• Dependent Rules of Engagement would see your staff waiting around to be 'told' what to do and how to do it.

• Co-dependent Rules of Engagement would see a group of staff members coming together because they have to, not because they want to, in a transactional relationship where they engage simply to get their own needs met.

• Independent Rules of Engagement is where its all about 'me' and getting my needs met with no regard for anyone else.

About Strengths-based Recruitment Interviewing

​

Before you decide on who to employ, and once selection of candidates has been narrowed down, you contact us and we ask your 2-3 candidates to take the Strengths Assessment as this brings information as to how an individual is intrinsically motivated.  So in essence, we will be adding additional value to your current process by allowing you to see how individuals are intrinsically wired and how this wiring will adapt in your environment and in the role you expect them to play.

 

What Strength-based Recruitment is not, is the ability to place an individual because their Strengths fit a particular role.  

 

Our Strengths are able to merge across roles and environments and are not specific to our qualifications or experience. They bring insight into how  each person is energised and motivated and our unique and  particular ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving.  

 

Conversely, our non-Strengths, bring some indication of those things that de-energise us.

 

So once you have narrowed down your selection process to 2-3 candidates, one of our qualified and experienced Strength Coaches will join in the company interview process either in person, or online. Throughout the interview, with insight into the candidates Strengths, we speak directly to an individual's intrinsic motivators, their Strengths and Talent Patterns, which brings about honesty, integrity and authenticity and affords people an opportunity to show who they really are as opposed to answering your questions simply to get the job.  This process is an art, not a science. 

​

We will then give you either verbal or written feedback on each individual and how they are naturally inclined, or not, towards a particular role. This is based on the assumption that you want to hire not because someone can do the job, but more importantly, that this person is intrinsically motivated and highly energised towards what they'll be doing.

 

High performers work through their Strengths because this is where we are naturally energised, learn quicker and are highly motivated.
