And what is really worrying is that these DID job descriptions are adding fuel to the global skills gap crisis. You might inadvertently be part of the conspiracy – read more here.
Or you might be interested in helping to stop it spreading by asking the right questions to understand what will motivate someone to do their job really well.
Motivation descriptions close the skills gap
Katherine Wiid, founder of Recrion says: "In our experience, what triggers people to perform at consistently high levels are not their skills. The secret lies in discovering what is motivating them to do what they are doing. Writing motivation-based – rather than skills-based – job descriptions is the answer.
"In our free “Hire a Mover, Fire a Shaker” whitepaper, we share the secret to using language to tap into prospective candidates’ sub-conscious motivational triggers so that you can hire motivated people with transferable skills with confidence.
"To hiring and retaining high performers!"
Katherine Wiid, founder of Recrion, is a Language and Behavioural (LAB) profile expert who helps organisations to ensure that they hire – and retain – the best talent. HR teams and Hiring Managers she works with have been amazed just how easily an individual’s motivations and attitude to work can be understood, simply by knowing what to ask and listen for.
