It is not a good title.
We are saturated with consultivitis ………….
We are saturated with being told about the importance of HR management, Capacity Assessment, Skills Management and blah, blah, blah …………
Pure marketing that has invaded all professional areas …………..
Little words of fashion, by the way, for those who go back to the old European or North American Manuals of Human Resources (Read study material seriously and not the pocket books that cram any library).
The truth is that we are in this country, Argentina.
With an education in decline.
With moral values to Argentina.
With political ideals to Argentina (supporting the left is supporting from Perón, passing through Allende and now the Kirschner ???????????????)
Argentina has its human resource …………… to Argentina.
At 44 years old, I feel standing in the middle, totally desolate, between employee and employer.
Today achieving commitment from a candidate or future employee is a titanic task.
In the interviews they state their requirements first and then and with a dismissive air about their skills ……….. (well ……….. which appears full of spelling errors in their CV)
If the day is more than 8 hours. (it does not matter that it is lawful or well paid or that it includes overtime, etc.) they get offended saying EXPLOITERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They don't find out market wages ………….but what they need to maintain their standard of living.
They are overestimated and worth, they are always worth much more.
If they arrive late it is allowed, since there are so many consultants that made them wait.
If they are called for an interview they say: Let's see, tell me more to see if I'm interested ……….
They lie, out of habit, idiosyncrasy, out of habit ……………
They ask for at least OSDE (when measured) most prefer Swiss Medical ………
They ask for motivation, training, pleasant weather, respect, growth, comfortable facilities, food included, per diem, vouchers, interesting tasks, days to study, days to prepare for the study, state-of-the-art PC, nextel, cell phones, LED monitors, chairs ergonomic ………..
Boring, it is true …………………. Me too.
It happens that from time to time, there is someone who wants to work …….. (which is our blessed Argentina 2010 is a rarity) and then?
- it does not hit the profile, it is not sophisticated enough
- If you asked for 4000 you have to offer 3000 and see what happens, that's where we get it cheaper.
- Citalo several times ………….if he gets tired, it is useless.
- He does not discuss anything ……………. It must be half slow.
- He doesn't discuss anything ……………..he surely hides something
- If the references are good …………..then they lied to you to get a nail out.
- I kept looking for something better and tell him that I am traveling for 20 days and that when he arrives we call him for another round of interviews.
Some deserve the other ……………..
With the exceptions, obviously.
My advice:
You as HR consultants as I do;
- don't lie
- be honest with yourself fundamentally
- do not say what your customers want to hear (deep down they laugh and think about loosening ISO standards)
- do not sell the positions to your applicants, do not allow them to speak ill of you later.
- row.
