Weekly Article
Telltale
Signs: Company Profile
By Yvonne LaRose
A young man stood on the bus stop wearing a navy blue
suit. He held a notebook-sized portfolio. His attire was
impeccable. I ventured a guess and decided to test it.
"So how did the interview go?"
"Okay. But I'm not sure about them."
"Just okay? Do you think you'll accept the position?"
 He was hesitant but quickly grew confident about saying
what was really on his mind.
The more he spoke, the more I noticed excellent
articulation and vocabulary. There were some physical
features that were not very attractive. The physical
features became inconsequential as the inherent talents
became apparent. This young black man was impressive
with his insightfulness, business knowledge, and
professionalism in thought, speech and demeanor.
He sketched out the interview and his analysis of the
company. He talked about how he would fit into the
organization, if he chose to. It was a restaurant and he
was to be the host. He talked about the glowing
interview and the very attractive offer that was made.
He expressed uncertainty about the acceptance and I
questioned him, again.
"I'm not sure about them. There's a lot of talk but they
make me nervous. They're cutting too many corners."
Again, he began to articulate appreciation of good,
solid business practices and the consequences of not
following them. He described some of the things that
matter in the restaurant industry and of the
consequences when they are overlooked.
We completed our exchange and his bus arrived. It seemed
the candidate chose to pass on the employer. He was
going to keep interviewing.
Just as important to the recruiter is not only the
candidate's appearance on paper and in person but also
how the client looks. And just as the candidate needs to
present a good appearance and profile, so does the
client.
The recruiter is looking for the best match for both
sides. Very important to their livelihood is the client
who has desirable attributes. A savvy executive
management candidate, as well as the recruiter, will
consider things such as amount of time in business,
success record, office atmosphere, profit and loss
statement, vision, planning, industry ranking and
reputation, management, turnover rate, timely payment of
debts and debt management, to mention just a few
factors. If these are lacking in any way, the client
will be the loser. In the short run, they will lose the
best and brightest candidates -- like the one on the bus
stop. In the long run, they will lose reputation,
business, and revenues.
Cutting corners shows, no matter what the corners. When
recruiting for the best, it's important to put forth the
best image possible. But image isn't the only thing at
stake. Also important is the substance that makes the
business. It needs to be strong and in tact in order to
attract the right types of people. In the long run,
you'll attract the best and most loyal customers as well
as the best candidates who will serve them to keep your
business alive and profitable.
