4 Stages of Receiving Feedback: The Emotional Rollercoaster!

4 Stages of Receiving Feedback: The Emotional Rollercoaster! | ISC Recruiting News & Views | Scoop.it

Whether you're giving or receiving feedback, it's useful to bare in mind the following stages of the emotional rollercoaster people can go on.


Via Kevin Watson
Ann Zaslow-Rethaber's insight:

We recently had a candidate that the hiring manager liked, but he had some concerns. 

 

The question was, 'how coachable is he"? 

 

Being coachable is an incredibly important attribute to have.

 

Being able to ask and receive feedback and direction, is paramount to success. 

 

How coachable are you? 

 

Are people comfortable giving you direction and feedback, or do you bristle and become defensive? 

 

There is no question that people that are open to constructive criticism are more successful when they are receptive to suggestions.

Stop Dreaming, Start Succeeding: 10 Motivating Stories from Top Salespeople | ISC Recruiting News & Views | Scoop.it

Motivation is one of the essential ingredients of sales success. When you’re not motivated, you’ll struggle to finish even the most basic tasks, like sending out a batch of prospecting emails or prepping for your upcoming calls. Things that require more attention and energy, like demoing or negotiating? Probably won’t go very well.

If you need an immediate dose of motivation, read the stories of these inspiring salespeople. Like you, they’ve had less-than-spectacular moments. But they kept grinding -- and the results speak for themselves.

Blockchain Could Phase Out Employment Screening, Secure Candidate Data

Blockchain Could Phase Out Employment Screening, Secure Candidate Data | ISC Recruiting News & Views | Scoop.it

It's not a question of if, but when. "Blockchain will be the fundamental way we store data in the future," said Kevin Wheeler, founder and president of the Future of Talent Institute, a San Francisco-area think tank. "The only real question is how quickly will it become universally accessible?"

Wheeler was speaking at Hiring Success 18, a conference for recruiting professionals held by SmartRecruiters, a talent acquisition platform based in San Francisco.

Blockchain is a bit mysterious and hard to understand (see below for a quick explanation), but every day we are getting more familiar with it and its potential for HR and recruitment, he said. Blockchain's applications for HR and recruiting are numerous and include the ability to protect employee data, secure payroll, eliminate candidate-records verification and streamline onboarding.

The Rise Of The Chief Talent Officer

The Rise Of The Chief Talent Officer | ISC Recruiting News & Views | Scoop.it

As the war for talent continues, crafting and implementing a strong talent management strategy has become a challenge.

 

Many companies are strengthening their internal talent management capabilities with the chief talent officer role.

 

This new leader in the C-suite is responsible for every aspect of human resources from the talent life cycle, managing internal recruitment teams, career development, employee engagement, succession planning and more.

 

Changing talent landscapes, migration to remote work and emerging technology are dismantling the traditional approaches to managing talent and workforces.

 

A new phenomenon of talent stagnation is blocking emerging leaders from ascending the career ladder and, as a result, these professionals are not able to learn the leadership skills needed to succeed in more senior roles.

 

Chief talent officers need to implement initiatives catering to developing future generations of leadership through transparency and communication, a powerful employee value proposition (EVP), and diversity and inclusion (D&I).

For many years, London has been the heartbeat of financial services across Europe and the world. The City has led the way, in part due to the efficient nature with which it connects key sectors, such as insurance, banking and legal.

The last 50 years have also seen the greatest advancements in technology. From the first home computer that entered the market in 1977, through to public acceptance of the Internet in 1991, the invention of Bluetooth in 2000, a year later the introduction of the first generation iPod, Facebook in 2004 and Google’s first driverless car in 2012—there are literally thousands of technical creations that have graced mankind, many of which we now take for granted as vehicles of our daily lives.

4 Ways To Test If Your Candidate Is Emotionally Intelligent

4 Ways To Test If Your Candidate Is Emotionally Intelligent | ISC Recruiting News & Views | Scoop.it

It’s easy to spot a good candidate – just take a look at their skills and professional experience. Now, to find a great candidate, that is another story.

Finding top talent is a bit more complicated than perusing through a CV, because the best employees not only have the required technical skills, but emotional skills as well.

In fact, the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs report noted that emotional intelligence (EQ) will be among the top ten most wanted employee skills by 2020. Employees will have to develop skills like emotional intelligence in order to compete in the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and the ever-changing workforce.

But how do you screen candidates for emotional intelligence? It’s a bit more tricky than testing a candidate’s writing skills. Here are four suggestions to help recruiters know if a candidate has high emotional intelligence.

We need clear cut  instructions on how most effectively to help someone.! ,  

 

In a professional setting, how do we keep professional & personal boundaries intact, while showing compassion for a fellow being?
