Helping You Find the Best Candidates

With Qualified Applicants, there are two ways to approach your needs. Unique to working with locally owned and operated small to mid-sized businesses, we leverage our proprietary Qualified Applicants (QA) Point Process to help you fill open positions more efficiently and accurately.

Recruiting for One to Two Positions (short-term support)

If you are looking to fill only one or two positions, no matter the level, we can help through our QA Point Process for four (4) to six (6) weeks.

Fractional QA Point Process (ongoing support/retainer)

On the other hand, if you need to fill multiple positions over time:

• Due to being a start up business in your first year or two
• For serious hiring and growth goals over many months
• Or, to allow an organization to build a stronger team by having new hires to fill positions where low performers have been let go

Our Fractional QA Point Process is a retainer of three (3), six (6), or twelve (12) months. It can be leveraged for entry-to mid-level position, managerial to executive-level positions. It involves a deeper dive into our Immersion Process and allows for additional benefits, discounts, and assistance with additional support offerings. Call for a complimentary consultation to learn more.

1. Immersion - Understanding your company, culture, and needs.
2. Hunting - Actively vetting, recruiting, and leveraging industry contacts.
3. Shoring Up - Offering compensation market analysis, background checks, contacting references, and more.

QA Point Process - Greater Detail

Being a good fit for a job goes beyond technical skills and qualifications. It involves a combination of elements including technical skills and experience, soft skills, character traits, and alignment with the organization's mission, values, and company culture. Here's a breakdown of these different aspects:

1. Technical Skills and Experience: These are the specific abilities and knowledge required to perform the job duties effectively. Employers seek candidates who possess the necessary technical skills and experience to handle the responsibilities of the role. This also considers degrees, licenses, continuing education classes, and more.
2. Soft Skills: Soft skills are non-technical skills that enable individuals to work well with others and contribute positively to the workplace. These skills include communication, teamwork, problem-solving, adaptability, leadership, time management, and emotional intelligence (especially for sales roles). Employers need candidates who possess strong soft skills to be able to contribute to a productive and harmonious work environment.
3. Character Traits: Character traits refer to personal qualities and attributes that influence an individual's behavior and interactions with others. These traits include honesty, integrity, reliability, accountability, and a strong work ethic. Employers look for candidates who demonstrate these positive character traits as they contribute to a trustworthy and dependable workforce.
4. Career Goals: Alignment of career goals with the mission and values of the organization is essential. Employers often seek applicants who are motivated and have a clear understanding of their professional aspirations. When a person’s career goals align with the company’s mission and values, they are more likely to be engaged, committed, and motivated to contribute to the organization's success and remain a loyal employee of the organization.
5. Mission, Values and Company Culture: Each organization has a distinct mission, set of values, and company culture. Employers prefer those who resonate with these aspects and can integrate well into the existing work environment. When there is alignment between a candidate’s values and the organization's culture, it puts your organization above others as a top choice for employment. Once hired, it fosters a sense of belonging and encourages collaboration and cooperation among team members which is key to employees happily remaining with an organization for years on end.

By considering these different factors, employers aim to find candidates who not only possess the necessary skills but also have the right personality, goals, and values to thrive within the organization and contribute to its overall success. Our Qualified Applicants Point Process will lead you to the best candidates for you and your organization.
