Indoor Skydiving vs Summer Recruiting... the challenge to both are more alike than you think! Mastering the body position, maintaining control, and navigating the wind tunnel can be tricky. It requires focus, practice, and the ability to adapt to ever-changing conditions. Just like the talent pool can shrink as candidates take vacations or prioritize other commitments. Recruiters must be creative in their sourcing strategies, work harder to attract attention, and be prepared to move QUICKLY when the right opportunity arises. Let us here at Spectrum Recruiting Solutions help you recruit TALENTED folks this summer! We know how to embrace the challenge, stay focused, and enjoy the thrill of the chase. #recruiting #talentacquisition #summerslam #indoorskydiving #adrenaline #challenge #engineering #manufacturing #summerhires #summerstrategy #LukeandEli

Careful consideration of team dynamics and individual strengths is essential when assigning new hires to their roles. Placing employees in environments where they can thrive is akin to selecting the ideal location for a seed.

Have you ever wondered where negative attitude starts from in a workplace? The way you treat a new employee has a great impact in the organisation. If the new employee finds a toxic environment, it's automatic that they fall in the trap and behave the same during their tenure of employment. First impressions really do matter in a work place. Be mindful of how you treat either a new employee or a customer. Every detail 👌 really does matter.

Here’s 5 ways to get hired and stay hired. 1. Start your own company 2. Have a Manmosa down in Cape May, NJ That covers it. #capemay #jobadvice

📜 A new hire's first day on the job is similar to planting a seed. 🙂 How successfully they thrive in their role will depend on the care and attention provided from the start. 🤔 Think of your business as a colorful garden. Every new hire is a vulnerable, full-of-potential seed. #Managers are essential to making sure these seeds grow, much like expert gardeners. 📖 Here's how we can encourage achievement: 1) Laying the foundation is vital: ✓ #Onboarding is similar to clearing the ground. A carefully considered procedure guarantees that new hires feel encouraged and prepared to succeed. 2) Empower them with essential tools: ✓ A new hire gains confidence when they are provided with the appropriate tools (resources, training) and an awareness of the "corporate landscape" (team dynamics). 3) Pleasant sunlight: ✓ A kind greeting serves as the initial rays of sunshine, creating a positive atmosphere for their adventure. Managers like greenhouse caretakers, must cultivate a feeling of belonging and camaraderie among the team. 4) Selecting the perfect place: ✓ Welcoming the new team member is akin to sowing a seed in a carefully chosen spot for optimal support from coworkers. 5) Nourishing the bond: ✓ Similar to how a seed requires water for growth, new relationships thrive with "watering." Casual meetings or team-building exercises at the beginning can help people get to know each other and create a hashtag #sense of #belonging. 6) Stimulating #development: ✓ ongoing assistance and input from supervisors, similar to a gardener providing water, guarantee the success of the "young bud" (fresh employee).

After interviewing 2 candidates for a Chief Facilities Officer role this morning, I need help picking one. Here’s how it went: I asked the first candidate if he knows the height of our building where we’re interviewing. He said of course; he had a love for architecture, it was 25 metres high with 8 floors. He was right. We had 7 floors and a penthouse floor. He also added he knew the height of most buildings in the city center. The second candidate got the same question but said she didn’t know because she didn’t research the height down to metres. But that she could tell me it had 9 floors. Then she asked for a minute to think and then did something… interesting. She got up, walked to the ceiling-to-floor glass wall looking over the street, took out her phone and took pictures. I was thinking, what a time to take pictures of the view for your Instagram. Then she turns around and tells me the height of the building shoud be about 23 metres. I asked how she came by that answer. She’d measured the length of her shadow against the length of the building’s shadow using some app she found to arrive at an estimated height. I told her she was close but not 100% accurate. I asked how she came by 9 floors. “Well, I noticed the elevator had 9 buttons: B for Basement, 1 to 7 and P for Penthouse, so 9”. Who should I hire in my "fictional" interviews this morning? And why? #StoryTelling #CreativeThinking #ThinkingOutsideTheBox #Careers #CareerDevelopment

Our clients and our design professionals frequently speak of quality in a variety of ways. This has led me to think of two distinct quality flavors: client experience and technical excellence. (I have ice cream “flavors” on my mind because of my daughter’s summer job at Haagen Dazs) Before the tidal wave of satisfaction surveys we see daily, Kimley-Horn has for decades completed “Quality Calls” with thousands of our clients each year where a senior Kimley-Horn leader speaks with a client and asks for feedback. We find it interesting that only a small percentage of the client feedback is focused on technical or functional quality. Is this because strong technical quality is just “expected” as a given? Probably, but it is instructive nonetheless. Instead, overwhelmingly we hear feedback about how our client FEELS about the experience of working with Kimley-Horn. Most responses are very positive, and we are consistently praised for our extraordinary communication and responsiveness. This track record of delivering an EXCEPTIONAL CLIENT EXPERIENCE is what separates @kimley-horn from our competitors. However, exceptional service doesn't mean technical expertise doesn’t matter. As a licensed engineer and part of a team of design professionals, we have a second “client” group to consider - the public and users of our projects. Legally and ethically, our charge as licensed professionals is to uphold the “public health, safety and welfare.” This priority must be omnipresent even when our focus leans towards project schedules, budgets, and communication. Our design professionals naturally approach our clients’ needs with technical rigor, ensuring projects not only run smoothly, but also meet all safety and functionality standards. Our clients expect this technical excellence and greatly value it, but clients hire Kimley-Horn at a rate which outpaces our competitors primarily because they prefer a better experience. Elevating both client experience AND technical excellence is key to being a successful consultant AND design professional. These two flavors go great together on a sizzling summer day. Tag a colleague who prioritizes both client experience and technical expertise! #consultant #clientservice #engineer #quality #kimleyhorn #exceptionalservice
