Hiring Myth #9 – Low turnover is a good sign we’re doing things well. Why rock the boat?

Low turnover can seem like an employer’s dream, but is it hurting your business in the long run?

The important question here is – how many people are we keeping? The far more valuable question is – what is the quality of the people we are keeping?

All too often, organizations find themselves in a rut where people aren’t leaving because they are comfortable. And they are comfortable because their job is easy, standards are lax, and mediocre performance is tolerated.

Comfortable employees can choke a business.

If you raise your standards, you will scare off those who crave comfort and attract better performers who share those same higher standards.


The most valuable competitive advantage for any business is to staff with star employees who perform better and stay longer.

That’s the Fit First philosophy.

FIT FIRST TECHNOLOGY MONDAY MYTHBUSTERS SERIES #8
June 27

Hiring Myth #8 – The best way to gain an advantage over my competition is to hire their top performer. Their loss = my gain.

Bad idea.

True, high performers share a set of characteristics and core attitude, but much of their performance is tied up in other factors that are external to them.

The factors can be summarized into four primary categories:

✅Fit with the manager
✅Fit with the critical aspects of the role;
✅Fit with the people around them;
✅Fit with the organization’s culture and systems.

Most often, poaching talent results in three losers – you, your competitor, and the fallen star.

The fact that they are a consistent top performer in another organization, even in a similar role and industry, is not a guarantee they will achieve the same results in your company.

A far more effective strategy is to identify people in your organization who have the capacity to do well in the reality you present.

When you find candidates who are at their best in the management climate you offer, who are drawing from their natural strengths and talents in the role you offer, who engage easily and productively with the rest of the team and your customers, and who are proud to contribute to the organization … you have a winning combination.

And it might not be the person you think it is.

The most valuable competitive advantage for any business is to staff with star employees who perform better and stay longer.

FIT FIRST TECHNOLOGY MONDAY MYTHBUSTERS SERIES #7
June 20

Hiring Myth #7 – There’s no point in investing time in Millennials and Gen Z employees. They are too disruptive, demanding and won’t stay for more than a year anyway.

Sure, the workforce has changed over the last 30 years, but the answer is not to find more people your age to staff your business.

The challenge is to help managers figure out how to create a workforce that harnesses the energies and talents of employees and converts those energies into profits.

Contrary to popular belief, the young people entering the workforce are generally not flighty and do not want to skip from job to job every year or two.

In fact, research continues to show that, just like the rest of us, the younger workforce wants nothing better than to find an employer where they can do meaningful work, see the value of their contribution, learn, and grow.

That said – the younger generations do have less tolerance for bu****it and are not likely to put down roots with an organization that treats them as less valued employees because of their age.

The most valuable competitive advantage for any business is to staff with star employees who perform better and stay longer. Even the young ones!

FIT FIRST TECHNOLOGY MONDAY MYTHBUSTERS SERIES #6
June 13

Hiring Myth #6 – To really know a candidate, you need to rely on a good set of behavioral interview questions. Past behavior is, after all, the best predictor of future performance.

Not really. The concept of asking behavioral questions was a tremendous innovation that improved the value of interviews almost immediately. But that was decades ago.

Candidates are now acutely aware of this approach and prepared for these questions. Add to the fact that candidates have a natural tendency to answer from the perspective of what the interviewer wants to hear.

The best way to truly understand how a potential employee is going to behave in a real corporate setting is to ask a completely different kind of question – what we refer to as a tertiary-level question.

The objective is to ask questions that go beneath behavior and have the candidate tell you stories about what worked for them and didn’t as it relates to other people, jobs, and situations.

This approach allows you to gain insight into their core – the attitudes, beliefs, and values that drive them.

These are the things that will predict the behaviors that are exhibited when nobody is looking, and that will give you a clear and reliable indication of how the candidate will fit in your business, in the job, and with co-workers and clients.

The most valuable competitive advantage for any business is to staff with star employees who perform better and stay longer.

Hiring Myth #5 – We need to offer top pay and benefits to attract and keep top performers.

Maybe, but research and experience show that pay and benefits are among the weakest ties.

There’s no question that you need to offer an attractive package, but if these things are generally aligned with industry standards, other things become much more important in attracting and retaining star employees.

The factors that attract the right candidates and keep them focused and productive are what researchers refer to as the four critical aspects of fit.

✅Fit with the manager.
✅Fit with the job.
✅Fit with the team.
✅Fit with the company.

In other words, if people love working for their manager, the team, or the company, they will grow to love their job. These people grow into star performers who want to build a career with your company.

It won’t matter if another company offers higher pay.
It’s surprisingly easy to filter people into a conversation with you based on these aspects of fit, and yet remarkably few organizations have figured out how to do it reliably.

The most valuable competitive advantage for any business is to staff with star employees who perform better and stay longer.

May 30

As the old saying goes, “Hard work beats talent”.

That’s why the overachieving Detroit Pistons beat the starstudded LA Lakers in the 2004 NBA Finals.

Skills can be learned and taught. But attitude is formed from years of social interactions.

The resume won’t tell you if the candidate is right fit.

Sure, impressions are important, and statistics do show that most managers decide at an unconscious level whether they want to hire a candidate in the first three minutes of the interview.

The rest of the time together is essentially an opportunity to gather information to support whatever decision was already made. Really good managers are aware of this and work hard to counteract it.

One important way they do this is to understand their ultimate objective.

They want a top performer, not a top candidate.

The difference is critical.

Top candidates may have a great résumé, show up on time, look the part, and have a great handshake. All these cosmetic factors have no bearing on how long they will stay with your company or how well they will work out.

Top performers share a very distinctive set of attributes and attitudes. They learn fast. They take responsibility. They build solid relationships. They think differently, act differently, and fit differently in your business.

Flagging these things can’t be done by résumé or even interview alone.

The most valuable competitive advantage for any business is to staff with star employees who perform better and stay longer.

FIT FIRST TECHNOLOGY MONDAY MYTHBUSTERS SERIES #3

May 23

Hiring Myth #3 – Finding the right person is a numbers game.
To improve the odds of finding the right person, HR needs to publish the job ad on various online recruitment websites, social media platforms, job search boards, plus traditional media like newspapers and other publications.

Wrong.

At any given time only about 20% of the workforce has an up-to-date résumé and is actively looking for work. Chances are, these aren’t the candidates you’re looking for because the best candidates are usually NOT actively looking for work.

Why? Because they’re probably the top performers in their company. They’re always busy and tasked to handle the most important projects by their boss. They don’t have the time to hang out on job search boards, online recruitment websites, or read the classifieds.

That doesn’t mean these top performers are happy with their jobs and want a better, more fulfilling career.

There is a huge difference between quantity and quality of candidates, and as Mies van der Rohe says, less is more.
The 60% of people in the workforce who are the top performers aren’t actively looking and don’t have an up-to-date résumé to whip out at a moment’s notice and may not be in love with their current job.

Often the résumé is a barrier to finding the right talent for your business. Making it only one piece of the puzzle and focusing on finding the right fit, candidate quantity may decrease, but quality, like cream, will rise to the top.

The most valuable competitive advantage for any business is to staff with star employees who perform better and stay longer.

FIT FIRST TECHNOLOGY MONDAY MYTHBUSTERS SERIES #2

May 16, 2022

Hiring Myth #2 – A solid résumé and a personalized cover letter define the perfect candidate.

Wrong.

Most candidates don’t even write their own résumés … and then factor in the embellishments or even sometimes outright falsifications, it’s hard to believe that we are still accepting these documents as the primary admission ticket into any credible organization’s hiring pipeline.

In other words, the information disclosed on a résumé is not an assurance of how the candidate will perform on the job.

Depending solely on the résumé in finding you a good, productive employee whom you can nurture within the organization is like playing a game of lotto in the hopes of getting rich.

You could be playing lotto every day for the next 365 days and the odds of hitting the jackpot will remain 1 in 13,983,316.

Instead, use the résumé as one piece of the puzzle and screen for things that are actual predictors of retention and productivity.

FFT RECRUITMENT MONDAY MYTHBUSTERS SERIES #1

Monday, May 2, 2022

Hiring Myth #1 – I can only afford to hire people who have experience.

The truth is most organizations find themselves hiring for experience and firing for fit.

People are brought into an organization because they have the right blend of education, credentials, and work experience on paper, but ultimately move on because they don’t jive with their manager, their coworkers, the customers or thrive in the corporate culture.

Save time, effort, and resources. Decrease staff churn. It is far better to find people who fit. People who can work productively with your people and can learn what they need to know quickly.

Particularly in this swirly job market, hire for fit, then teach them what they need to learn.

Does the candidate have the ideal personality/behavioral traits to work from home?

Also in the photo are (left to right) Pharmcle Philippines’ Dae Molles and Audrey Mendoza.

For pest control companies, becoming a reseller for ZAPS is a SMART move because:

✅DIVERSIFY product mix; lockdowns will keep happening and this will lead to the suspension of home pest control services.

Having ZAPS in their product mix gives pest companies another source of income - selling DIY pest control products that homeowners can use to eliminate their pest problem.

✅EXCELLENT PROFIT MARGINS; We offer our resellers the BEST profit margins in the market WITHOUT affecting the affordability of ZAPS for buyers.

✅ACCESS to Korea’s #1 pest control product; ZAPS has been the #1 pest control product in South Korea since 2006. ZAPS has been tested and approved by the Korean FDA and is used by the Korean government to protect cultural landmarks from pest infestation.

The Philippines’ DOST has labeled many of our ZAPS products as “novel” or unique.

YOU CAN’T FIND ANYTHING LIKE ZAPS IN THE PHILIPPINE MARKET.😎

ALL-IN-ONE PRODUCTS DON’T WORK WHEN IT COMES TO PEST CONTROL.🤓

Why? Because pests are NOT alike!

Cockroaches, mosquitoes, ants, termites, rats… all have different physiologies, habits, and behavioral patterns.

Spraying ants will induce the Queen Ant to reproduce more ants for the colony. Cockroaches develop an immunity to the chemicals used to make aerosols.

Sprays don’t work on termites and rats.

To eliminate the problem, you have to use products that have been specially developed for them.

✅ZAPS Whitefence - For cockroaches; Apply the foam-type substance on entryways to your home and underneath hiding places such as the refrigerator and furniture. Cockroaches that are caught in the fence will die.

ZAPS Whitefence will remain EFFECTIVE FOR UP TO 15 DAYS.

✅ZAPS Ultra Prime Gel - For cockroaches; Apply small amounts of the gel in areas frequented by cockroaches. The gel is irresistible to cockroaches. Once ingested, the cockroach will get paralyzed before it dies. Cockroaches that eat the dead cockroach will get poisoned as well.

ZAPS Ultra Prime Gel will remain EFFECTIVE FOR UP TO 1 MONTH.

✅ZAPS TEME TABLET - For mosquitoes; FLUSH 2 tablets down the toilet. The temephos larvicide will get activated and will begin killing millions of mosquito and fly larvae.

ZAPS TEME TABLET will remain EFFECTIVE FOR UP TO 5 WEEKS.

✅ZAPS ANT GRANULE - For ants; Place the opened blister pack in or near foraging areas of ants. The ants will bring the poisonous granules back to the colony where they will die slowly over 3-5 days.

ZAPS ANT GRANULE will remain EFFECTIVE FOR UP TO 1 MONTH.

Eliminating pests is a science not marketing hype!

Businesses that were affected by the lockdowns hired freelancers to streamline costs without compromising the quality of work AND boost productivity at the same time.

For employees who were laid off, freelancing gave them a second chance to earn regular income - while working from home.

Lockdowns had their merit at the start of the pandemic. The objective of the lockdown was to keep the virus from spreading while the government comes up with plans of action for treatment and to support affected businesses.

1 year later the Philippines is still in the first wave of the virus, still implementing lockdowns, and still imposing restrictive measures while the number of infections continues to break record highs.

It's very frustrating. But unfortunately, we are limited to what we can do - wear masks, practice proper disinfection, and observe social distancing.

By now, we have to accept the very real possibility that lockdowns will be part of our life. The only thing we can do is to focus on the things we have control over.

“I wrote this article for Tycoon.ph when I was at the lowest point in my life - financially and emotionally. So the writing is very raw. I still cringe when I read it and hope to do a rewrite.

“But given today’s situation with businesses closing down and people losing their jobs, I felt it best to keep the rawness and emotion of the article intact.

“I remember a friend called me up the morning the article came out on Tycoon.ph. He asked me how I was doing - if I was okay because he read this and thought I was in a state of depression.

“I laughed, thanked him for his concern, and assured him I was okay. I was happy that the article triggered an emotional response even though it was from a friend.

“If you know people who are struggling with depression because their business is losing or they lost their jobs - please share this article with that person.
