Using BelBin as a Recruitment Tool
Recruitment
of staff – as we have already suggested – is a high-stakes gamble. Small-
(and even medium-) sized businesses frequently face higher risks than the bigger
organisations because they cannot get easy access to the experts and tools which
larger organisations take for granted.
UNTIL
NOW!
For the first
time, a professional recruitment tool – the
BelBin© Team Role Tool (the same
one used by many large companies) is available to every organisation at a
fraction of the price you will pay a recruitment agency.
How Does It Work?
Everybody brings two things to a job:
1.
Competence
(a combination of knowledge, skills and experience).
2.
Personality
and attitude.
People with the right competence, but the wrong personality and
attitude, almost always “fail to fit” in the work place. It is this fit
failure, more than anything else, which results in the high failure rate of new
hires.
The
Belbin© Team Role Profiling Tool allows you and other staff who
will work with a new staff member to describe exactly the sort of person you
believe will be successful in your vacant job. Profiles of competent applicants
are then compared. The resulting report gives you solid advice as to the
likelihood of an applicant meeting your particular needs.
BelBin© is simple and effective with most types of staff, and for both
internal and external appointments. Now you can improve your ability to get the
right personality and attitude in your new staff members – first time, every
time!
What’s Involved?
Step 1:
Our trained practitioner visits your workplace and assists you to
complete a Job Profile questionnaire. This usually takes about 30 minutes. At
the same time, several co-workers fill out a separate “tick-sheet” profile
about the qualities they believe are important in the job occupant.
Step 2:
A profile of the ideal occupant is produced – based on the information
you and your staff have provided. This information can be used in a job vacancy
advertisement and/or provided to job applicants at the time of enquiry or
initial interview.
Step 3:
You complete a short-list of applicants for the job and have each of them1
complete BelBin© profiling forms.
Step 4:
A personal report is produced and provided to each of the short-listed
applicants1. At the same time, a report, showing the predicted match
of each of the applicants against the Job Profile, is provided to you. Our
practitioner works with you – in your workplace – to ensure that you have a
clear understanding of the report and its implications, and to help you with the
final selection.
