An evaluation of a candidate in a discussion/interview is usually both ways. Both the interviewer and the candidate evaluate each other from the perspective of their goals. It is ultimately expected that the relationships are symbiotic and shall work out for the employee, hiring manager and the organization. This must be for both short- and long-term goals for all concerned.
Thus, when evaluating a person for hiring, a holistic approach is essential to ensure you’re bringing in the right talent for both the role and the organization. Beyond just hard skills, a comprehensive 360° assessment should cover several key dimensions not just for today but for building tomorrow’s organization/business too.
Broadly there are 3 key dimensions to consider, even at entry levels and especially at mid/senior levels.
- Capabilities/skills (hard and soft) the candidate brings to build or augment the organization or business for today and the future.
- Alignment between the person and the company values and culture.
- Motivation and Ambition. What is the space and the opportunities that the organization can provide to the candidate (and vice-versa) to grow and expand horizons.
A particular dimension could be material to the hiring executive especially at the senior level.
Evaluation of hard skills and technical competencies is usually comparatively straightforward. However, the other dimensions are subjective and can easily be missed or misread.
The Leap Supreme Agentic AI platform does a 360° evaluation of a possible symbiotic relationship between the candidate and the organization in all the 3 dimensions. By systematically evaluating candidates across these diverse dimensions, organizations can make more informed hiring decisions to hire the right candidate (with a win-win for candidate as well as hiring company), leading to stronger teams, reduced turnover, and ultimately, greater business success.
