kellyservices.us/careers RDA Group is
a registered trademark of RDA Group, Inc. An Equal Opportunity Employer © 2016 Kelly Services, Inc. 16-0135 Kelly® has the connections to develop your career. Our customers include 93 percent of Fortune 100™ companies. We put a new employee to work every 36 seconds, and every two minutes one gets hired by a Kelly customer. DO YOU HAVE WHAT HIRING MANAGERS ARE LOOKING FOR? Technical skills matter when it comes to securing an interview. TECHNICAL SKILLS CULTURAL FIT YOUR TRUSTED PARTNER INTERPERSONAL SKILLS BE AN IDEAL CANDIDATE OBSERVATIONS FROM THE HIRING MANAGERS “When hiring someone for the long term, I feel interpersonal skills are extremely important.” OBSERVATIONS FROM THE HIRING MANAGERS “The ability to fully diagnose and resolve a problem from beginning to end is the most critical skill in my business.” “The major differentiator among candidates for me are writing and speaking skills, as well as critical analysis and problem solving. These skills are learned through a lifetime of experience leading up to the interview.” “Because we are a company that works face to face with clients, it is very important to us that employees have good interpersonal skills—or that they’re open to learning how to conduct themselves in interpersonal relationships.” “Your experience is on your résumé—I want to know more about you and whether you’ll fit with my team.” “Convince me that my team and I will like working with you and can trust you.” It’s not always about the technical knowledge you’ve acquired—hiring managers place equal emphasis on interpersonal skills. The candidate who fits in with the company and team will land the job. Nearly 70% of hiring managers say cultural fit plays an important role in your evaluation as a candidate. Interviewers may not always be looking for a success story. If you’re asked about a situation that went wrong, describe how you dealt with it, what you learned, and what steps you took to create a positive outcome. Pro tip: It takes more than one factor to grab the attention of a hiring manager. Remember to present yourself as a well-rounded candidate, and you’ll be in a great position to get hired. Research the company culture ahead of time. Most companies have a mission statement or “about us” section on their website. Always ask questions about the company culture during an interview, and make sure to communicate why you would be a good fit. Pro tip: OBSERVATIONS FROM THE HIRING MANAGERS Survey methodology: The 2015 Hiring Manager Research (U.S./Canada) was conducted by RDA Group® on behalf of Kelly Services® . More than 1,000 hiring managers in the U.S. and Canada were surveyed. Participants had direct-hiring responsibilities for talent in healthcare, engineering, finance and accounting, IT, and scientific fields. Results represent a cross section of industries and career disciplines. Hiring managers are regularly looking to evaluate the following interpersonal skills: Pro tip: During your interview, highlight your technical proficiency by sharing personal accomplishments and conveying how your skills and background are a good fit for the position. 60% of hiring managers struggle to find people with the right combination of skills for the job. An ideal candidate scores high marks across three different categories. Behavior-based questions Hiring managers observe your mannerisms and nonverbal cues during an interview to evaluate these skills. They also listen to the questions you ask to assess your attitude and interest in the position. Behavioral questions, however, are the top way that your interpersonal skills will be put to the test. Can you listen and comprehend well? Do you have a positive attitude? Can you collaborate with the team? Do you work well under pressure? Tell me about a situation in which you had to make a quick decision Tell me about a time when you had to deal with conflict with a team member Describe a time when you were involved in a stressful situation, but still got the job done Examples of behavior-based questions: IDEAL CANDIDATE INTERPERSONAL SKILLS CULTURAL FIT TECHNICAL SKILLS Nearly 8 in 10 hiring managers will match the skills listed on your résumé to the job description they are hiring for to determine if you should be offered an interview.
