Employers requiring candidates to have experience elsewhere think that if someone

else wants them then they do too.

The Default Wayrequires similar experience:

But that can attract disgruntled candidateswho are putting on a happy face.

The Default Wayrequires similar experience:

The Default Waygets you an employee who:

Passes a filter

Sounds good on the phone

Looks like the peoplewho already work there

Fits your budget

BUT...

The Default Way is Inhumane

It leaves many people demoralized.

How many $$$ does it take to buy

Is the candidate a good fit?

The Default Way Takes Time

Hire and see how they do

No hire makesinsiders unhappy

and it createsmany

unhappypeopleboth

outsidethe

company.

The Default Wayis broken because

it rewards anability to get a job

instead of the

ability to do the job.

And yet, the last thing an employer needs a good employee to be good at is getting their next job.

Now, let’s look at the

Better Work World Way of Hiring

We know it is not perfectbut it is better.

The Better Work World WayThe main features of our approach include:

More inclusive: Fewer candidates are eliminated in early rounds so that hidden talent can be identified, even if appropriate for a job other than the one advertised.

Uses group meetings: These are not group interviews but rather presentations and workshops that benefit the applicants even if they are not hired.

More transparent: Applicants are told where they stand and what is next in each stop of the process.

Encourages community: Applicants get to meet each other and are encouraged to collaborate on projects, including helping each other find work.

invitation tobegin a dialog

“If this interests you then tell us why. You may write even if you do not want to apply for this job but you want to learn more about this line of work so that you can prepare to do it in the future. Send us your questions but please do not send a formulaic cover letter. A resume would be nice but is not required at this stage.”

An example:

We do not want to eliminate too many people becausewe make our money placing the people you do not hire.

The Better Work World WayWe also begin with a

large number of candidates1

The Better Work World Way The invitation to begin a dialog separates the curious from the less interested.

These people know why they are not getting the job.

The Better Work World Way

The people who begin a dialog

receive an invitationto a group meeting.

Most of the seats at the meeting are reserved forserious job candidates, but some space is available for students and others we call “job browsers.”

The Better Work World Way The invitation to a meeting further separates the serious from the less serious.

These people know why they are not going

to get the job.

The Better Work World WayThe initial meeting has three parts:

We begin with a discussion of our process and then present our Secrets of Success Without Selling Yourself workshop that teaches the importance of values such as curiosity, generosity, integrity, and accountability.

Then the employer discusses the work, answers questions, and makes suggestions of learning activities and projects that can help a candidate prepare, whether they want to apply or just get ready for a future opportunity.

Finally, candidates are asked to form groups to work on a project to prepare them for the job and/or help each other find work.

The Better Work World Way The invitation to form groups divides the candidates into the very serious, the generous, the curious, the uninterested, and the lazy.

These people do not want to continue or they do not

want to help others.They know why they are

not getting the job.

The Better Work World Way By working together on projects the candidates true colors begin to show. It becomes evident who has the skill, curiosity, generosity, integrity, and accountability for this job or some other.

The Better Work World WayIn a follow-up meeting:

Group members present their work to the members of other groups and to people from the sponsoring company and Better Work World staff.

Group members self-identify who are the: - best candidates for the job, - good for other employers, - candidates for unrelated jobs, and - candidates for more education.

The employer, Better Work World staff, and even the candidates themselves determine who is selected to visit the employer.

The Better Work World Wayis better for Employers because:

It saves time in the beginning. The initial contact is done in a group setting where you can say things once to everyone instead of repeating yourself to candidates one-at-a-time.

It saves time later on. Candidates weed themselves out so the people who present themselves for your consideration will have proven their interest and aptitude.

You get better value for money. The Better Work World process gets you smart people who care more about doing the work than nailing the interview. You do not have to pay to compete with everyone else who cannot see their talent.

The Better Work World Wayis better for Job Seekers because:

It is more humane. No computer program passes judgment on anyone ever. Everyone knows where they stand and what they can do to get better.

Everyone benefits even if they don’t get a job this time around. It is educational for everyone, uplifting for most, and life-changing for some.

Make companions instead of “contacts.” Selling yourself is no fun so why do it? Care about people and they will care back. Do something of value for others and employers will want to learn more. Life is a journey and you don’t have to travel alone.

The Better Work World Wayis Better for Everyone.
