The future of search is here.
Today's stand-out hiring managers know if they want to fill critical growth gaps for their organization, they need to re-design their hiring process from the inside out. This means challenging old-school hiring practices that are no longer serving their growth potential. It means looking at the candidate as a whole person and what they stand for, beyond the past titles they've negotiated or degrees they hold. It means befriending technology advancements to navigate the ever-changing dynamics of the market. It means prioritizing soft skills and a cultural fit. Above all, the most successful hiring teams will focus on the strength of alignment between a candidate and the ethos of the organization they are hiring for.
Meet Align By Design, a growth-oriented, holistic approach to successful talent acquisition DEVELOPED BY the TEAM AT GROWTH BY DESIGN.
Sustained success for your next search will be supported by the perfect blend of data-driven insights and the social-emotional intelligence of our veteran team of leadership consultants.
The Align By Design talent acquisition process:
Articulates Your Value: We help you reflect on, expand, and articulate your unique value proposition—what sets you apart and why a candidate should choose you—to put your very best foot forward from the start.
Is Backed By Science: We utilize a sophisticated assessment and screening platform that gives you a more complete picture of each applicant. You’ll have greater confidence in your hiring decision because it will be backed by the data-driven insights that help you see into the mind of your next leader.
Intentionally Reimagines Qualifications: We help you reimagine qualifications beyond titles and educational backgrounds by looking more deeply at a candidate’s hard and soft skills, personality, communication style, mindset, values and expectations. This reduces costly attrition that organizations often face due to misalignment and also ensures a much larger and more diverse pool of applicants.
Embraces a Growing Edge Philosophy: The real ROI is in finding the right-fit candidate whose mindset matches the culture you aspire toward. Instead of asking, “What kind of a culture do we have?” when considering your next leadership hire, we help you consider: “What is the growing edge for us as a culture? Can this candidate help us get closer? What changes do we need to make to reach our goals and help this person thrive in their new role?”
Draws From Our Network of Purpose: We take the time to get to know your people and your culture, and as a boutique firm, we deeply value the relationships we have within our own growing network of purpose-driven people. Our database is a gold mine for extraordinary leaders who are looking for growth-oriented organizations like yours.
Over the next month or so, I’ll go in-depth with articles on each attribute of the Align process and how you can embrace some of these principles to help you find the right leader for the long haul. The team at Growth By Design has been working incredibly hard to develop this innovative new model of hiring and we are thrilled to finally be sharing it with the world.
