| Most Job Seekers Should Expect 3+ Interviews |
 |
|
According to a recent survey, 60% of job seekers can
expect to participate in three initial interviews with
prospective employers before getting an offer. Most
job seekers have at least two (34%) or three (39%)
interviews. As many as 20% have been asked to
come in for four or more interviews. Only 3% of job
seekers receive one interview.

| More Than One-Quarter of Employees Have Had Ideas Stolen |
|
|
According to a recent survey, one in four (29%) of
employees interviewed said that a coworker has
taken credit for their idea. Those who steal the
limelight from their more deserving colleagues may
get away with it, too; More than half (51%) of those
who have had their ideas nabbed by co-workers
revealed they did nothing in response.

Because we want to best serve our readers, we
feature a segment of our Newsletter where you
can submit questions directly to our
OperationsInc professionals. Do you have a
question related to the management of the Human
Resources function? Email it along to
enewsletter@operationsinc.com. The best ones
will make it into a future newsletter, along with the
answer... and those that don't get published will still
receive a response.
This week's question:
-Can I or should I pay a bilingual employee more
than an employee that only speaks one language?
--- DON - Healthcare Facility
Answer:
Employees that speak multiple languages carry a
marketable skill that as such justifies more pay. As a
result paying someone with added skills is perfectly
legal and an accepted practice.

INTERVIEW QUESTION OF THE
WEEK
Each Newsletter we will publish an interview
question which hiring managers can utilize to better
qualify candidates for hire, along with our analysis of
the answers you may receive and their meaning.
This Week's Question
- As a manager, what did you look for when you hired
people? Why?
GAUGING THEIR RESPONSE ---
While we assess managerial position candidates we
also can gain great value in understanding what THEY
see as critical in terms of characteristics, skills and
qualities in those they use in their interviewing
process. Knowing the type of candidate a manager
migrates towards helps us understand how they
manage and lead. Do they for example seek those
stronger than them or weaker? Independent minded
or more suited for micro management? We learn
about how they will hire and how they will perform all
with this one well positioned question.
HR Best Practices Tips
--Internships
The summer is coming. Do you have interns lined up?
If not consider this valuable way to bolster your
workforce for limited expense, all while giving a
student the chance to experience what the workplace
is like. Setting up an internship, even in the smallest
business, can deliver huge results. With proper vetting
and selection you can secure someone who can
handle clerical tasks, project support and even some
meatier roles if appropriate. You also could be
auditioning a future new hire given the college student
before you will graduate and perhaps be a fit for your
firm. Bottom line - go get an intern for the summer of
2010!
