At GLS, we believe in the adage, "Hire for attitude, and train for skills."
Choosing the right person for the job is a lot harder than it sounds. There are many talented people in the world anxious to work for great companies. But talent selection is less about finding the person with the right skills and experience, and more about finding the person with the right attitude and fit for the job.
Our formula for identifying talent is ability + environment compatibility = success.
We believe that in order to select the most talented individual for a particular job, you must select based on both the individual's abilities (skills and experience) and compatibility with the culture of your organization. We place the greatest emphasis on compatibility.
Some organizations are better at selecting talent than others. They retain more employees and have a more productive, happier workforce. Although some people may attribute this to luck, GLS believes that these organizations experience greater success in talent selection because they are more likely to select new employees based, at least in part, on compatibility with the culture of the organization, rather than whether the individual possesses a discrete set of skills.
How can GLS help your organization to select the best talent?
Selecting the right talent is our specialty. We offer consultation and numerous proprietary assessment tools to help your organization identify the factors of successful performance. We will help you identify and benchmark what a winning attitude looks like in your organization so you can leverage the talent of your current employees and make the best decisions about new hires.
