Thomas Couture’s Post

We almost adopted the wrong dog and it reminded me of the following: We buy on emotion and justify after with logic Fortunately we were equipped with recruitment selection strategies including a scorecard, an interview process and a debrief. We went to the shelter set on a chihuahua but ended up falling in love with this terrier. He checked almost all the boxes He’s healthy, friendly, spunky, cute and the right size, age and coat. And energetic. TOO energetic.  He’d been returned to the shelter previously because of this. Over the 2.5 hours we spent with him, the terrier hunting instinct never turned off.  Pacing, sniffing, scratching, chewing, jumping. If he were a candidate, he’d be great for a rat extermination-based startup.  But we’re looking for more of a Walmart greeter energy. Despite knowing deep down that we weren’t the right owners it was still a heart wrenching decision. Have you ever experienced a similar situation with hiring? #sales #hr #construction #recruiting

Are you struggling to find the right candidates for your open positions? A new client of mine shared that they usually recruit through job boards and LinkedIn, but are still having trouble finding candidates with the right experience. In fact, they recently received an application from a pig farmer for a senior enterprise account executive role in the tech industry. While we appreciate the hard work and dedication of pig farmers, it's important to read job descriptions thoroughly before applying. Let's work together to find the right candidates for your team. #recruiting #hiring #jobsearch

Nothing says summer in the US like hot dogs and ice cream. That’s why July is both National Hot Dog Month and National Ice Cream Month. “Steve, hot dogs and ice cream are for children.” Are they though? I did some exhaustive research on this topic (meaning, I googled it) and found that most Americans, including adults, eat between 60 and 70 hot dogs a year. And while ice cream cones might remind you of childhood, those over 55 eat more ice cream cones a year than children do. Life is short. Treat your staff to lunch one day this month and see for yourself. Just don’t forget the gluten-free hot dog buns, tofu dogs, and dairy-free ice cream alternatives. As someone who’s been in recruitment for 25+ years, I know the value of small gestures in boosting team morale.

Currently, enjoying Christopher Marquis's The Profiteers: How Business Privatizes Profits and Socializes Cost. 📚🤑 It not only discusses how the system is broken but also the action already being taken to fix it. 🔧🌍 A cool concept is Greyston Bakery's Open Hiring model. 🍞🙌 Greyston Bakery's Open Hiring model is a unique approach to employment that eliminates traditional barriers like resumes, interviews, and background checks. Here are the key aspects of their Open Hiring model: 💼✂️ - Anyone interested in working at the bakery can simply add their name to a waitlist, no questions asked. 📝✅ - New employees are hired from the waitlist on a first-come, first-served basis as positions become available. 🕰️🚪 - There are no resumes, interviews, or background checks required to get hired. 🚫📄 - The only requirements are being legally authorized to work in the U.S., being able to stand for 8 hours, and lift over 50 lbs. 🇺🇸⏰💪 The Open Hiring model allows individuals facing significant barriers to employment, such as limited work history, criminal records, substance abuse issues, or homelessness, to gain employment at Greyston Bakery. 🚫🚧 Once hired, employees have access to an on-site case manager and support services through the Greyston Foundation to help mitigate their employment barriers. 🙋♀️🙋♂️ By providing employment opportunities and wraparound services, Greyston aims to address not just unemployment but also issues like homelessness, food insecurity, education, recidivism, and crime rates in the community. 🏡🍽️📚🚔 The bakery generates revenue by selling its products to large customers like Ben & Jerry's and Whole Foods, allowing it to sustain the Open Hiring model as a for-profit social enterprise. 💰🍪 Greyston's vision is to see the Open Hiring model replicated more widely, with a goal of filling 40,000 jobs through open hiring by 2030 to unlock $3 billion in economic impact across the U.S. 🌎💼💸
