Constructing a benefits brokerage business and hiring people may seem like two different discussions, but theyre actually quite similar. Building a quality benefits organization or hiring the best assistant requires an appropriate hiring process to select the right candidate.
On the topic of hiring, its too frequently based on likeability or skills rather than values, intelligence, work ethic, compatibility or versatility. At my firm, we utilize the Kolbe Method as a value assessment tool that measures natural abilities and instinctive talents to assist with the new-hire selection process. We understand that people can complete tasks that are outside of their natural abilities, but ideally the position requirements should match the natural abilities and instinctive talents of the candidate, to maximize job satisfaction and performance.
