You are convinced, this is the person you want to recruit. It will fit perfectly into your organization in the food sector. These professional &#8220;favorites&#8221; have not escaped our eye as a recruiter, but should we trust them completely?<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"tw-target-text\" class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traduction\"><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">First of all, try to decipher where this feeling comes from: it&#8217;s a safe bet that it is only the profile that caused this &#8220;crush&#8221;, technically ticks all the boxes. But above all, his personality plays a major role. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traduction\"><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Then you have to ask yourself the right questions:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"tw-target-text\" class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traduction\"><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">I project myself with this candidate, but what about my team? <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traduction\"><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Are the qualities that I detected in the person during the recruitment transferable and relevant to the position offered and the world of the food industry? <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traduction\"><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Am I idealizing a candidate because their personality reminds me of someone I respect? Is this candidate a cut-and-paste of the employee I&#8217;m looking to replace? <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traduction\"><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">By going back to the initial job description, does he\/she cover the requirements? Or am I ready to turn a blind eye to certain points?<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traduction\"><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\"> If yes, which ones ? In his speech, did the candidate convince me in both form and substance? <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traduction\"><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Have any convincing examples related to the food industry supported his statements?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p id=\"tw-target-text\" class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traduction\"><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">The best reaction is not to make any hot promises to the candidate, to take the time to reflect and to involve other interlocutors. It is important to involve those who will work with this potential recruit, without influencing them beforehand. Their opinion may raise new questions and points of nuance that your &#8220;coup de coeur&#8221; did not allow you to detect. Stay open to these feedbacks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"tw-target-text\" class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traduction\"><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Among other things, certain tactics allow you to confirm or refute your feelings:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"tw-target-text\" class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traduction\"><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Meeting the person a second time also gives the opportunity to see if the crush is confirmed and if it is mutual! <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traduction\"><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Checking references, especially at the heart of such a specialized sector, is also an excellent way to better understand how the person acts on a daily basis. And thus to highlight its strengths and areas for improvement. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traduction\"><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Personality inventories and intellectual aptitude tests shed a different light and avenues for discussion with your candidate. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traduction\"><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Do not hesitate either to continue the recruitment process and to meet other profiles to compare and clearly determine the strengths that you absolutely want to observe in your future talent, and the points of progress on which you can or cannot compromise. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traduction\"><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Finally, a scenario can clearly illustrate the behaviors that the person would have in a real situation, but also determine their axes of demotivation, their technical skills &#8211; in a very factual way<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p id=\"tw-target-text\" class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traduction\"><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Clearly, having a &#8220;crush&#8221; can be a sign of successful recruitment. But it is with vigilance that it is necessary to appreciate it and especially not to neglect the phase of integration which will be essential in the success of this new recruit and your company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traduction\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That&#8217;s it, the candidate interview is over and you feel like you&#8217;ve found your rare pearl, your five-legged sheep, your dream candidate!
