How Can You Build Value Through The Hiring Process?
How Can You Build Value Through The Hiring Process?
A common goal in pre-hire assessment processes for pricing and commercial roles is creating transparency for candidates. Specifically, the aim is to provide candidates with visibility into the work activities and expectations for the role. This is often done through various methods like interviews, job descriptions, and company marketing materials or videos that provide insight into
the culture and work environment. However, these methods are more descriptive in nature and often fail to truly offer candidates an experience or behavioral understanding of what a new or more complex job in pricing is really like. Not only do organisations want to gain visibility into the potential of a candidate, but it’s also vital for the candidate to gain insight into the job requirements and business culture so they can ‘opt-in’ to continue in the hiring process based on a more holistic understanding of the role, strategy, and culture.
