Top 10 Characteristics We Value When Identifying Top Talent For Our  Clients

1/1/2020

0 Comments

 
As one of the best staffing agencies in Houston TX, Clayton Services employees and candidates enjoy the knowledge that they are working with a company who has an outstanding reputation for working with qualified professionals.   Our clients hire us to help them find top talent to join their company, therefore, our standards are high.  When choosing candidates to represent Clayton, we look for the following characteristics.

1. The Resume

We look for a well formatted resume free of typos and grammatical errors that easily provides a cohesive summary of your skills, abilities and accomplishments.  If a resume is not attached to your profile when you apply, we cannot start a dialog with you.

2. Awareness

We look for candidates that have a good understanding of their experience and skills demonstrated by the fact that they apply to jobs on our website that they are truly qualified for.

3. Long Term Potential

We look for candidates who demonstrate long term potential through commitment and longevity.  Employee turnover is expensive for our clients.  We want to identify candidates who have the potential to contribute, learn and grow with a company.

4. Stability & Commitment

We look at job tenure.   While having several jobs in a short time period is not necessarily viewed as a negative, it is imperative that you be able to articulate your reasons for moving around so much.  
Are you steadily advancing in your career path, taking on higher levels of responsibility or does there always seem to be a problem with your new job, boss, co-workers, etc.? 
Advancement opportunities, multiple lay-offs, change in company ownership and failed endeavors (company bankruptcies), etc. are all legitimate reasons for changing jobs but can cause us and our clients concerns when viewing a resume. 

5. Strong Work Ethic

We look for candidates who not only work hard, but smart.  Motivated and driven candidates go above and beyond what is asked of them and look for ways to complete their required tasks in the most efficient ways. They don’t waste valuable company time attending to personal issues not related to the job.  Employees with a strong work ethic are loyal and work hard to do the best they can in their position and often think of ways to improve their work and be more efficient. An employee, who possesses these traits, has a greater chance of being considered for more challenging positions when opportunities arise.

6. Adaptability

We look for candidates who are adaptable and flexible, open to change and improvement when working in an ever changing workplace.  Adaptability also means being a team player and adapting to the personality and work habits of co-workers and supervisors. Adaptable candidates recognize that each person possesses their own set or strengths and adapting personal behaviors to accommodate others is part of what it takes to work effectively as a team. 

7. Honesty and Integrity

We look for honesty and integrity that highlights a candidate’s judgment and character.  Individuals who show integrity in the workplace not only understand right from wrong but they practice it in all they do. This is beneficial in a business environment where trustworthy actions set the foundation for successful business relationships.

8. Enthusiasm and Passion

We look for candidates who are enthusiastic, passionate team players who get along well with others and give 100% to their job.  People who love the work they do often stay at companies longer than people who work only for the sake of a paycheck.    

9. Dependability and Responsiveness

We look for candidates who do what they say they will do, including showing up for their interview with us and/or our clients, completing their skills assessments, providing references and employment documentation, in addition to staying in contact with us, returning our calls and honoring their commitments.  This trait is also a key indicator of how they will interact with our clients.  Our clients value employees who come to work on time, are there when they are supposed to be, and are responsible for their actions and behavior.

10. Professionalism

We look for candidates who are professionally dressed and well-groomed even if they are working in a business casual environment.  Professionals look, speak, and dress accordingly to maintain an image of someone who takes pride in their behavior and appearance. Professionals complete projects as soon as possible and avoid letting uncompleted projects pile up. Professionals complete high quality work and are detail oriented. Professional behavior includes all of the behavior above in addition to providing a positive role model for others. Professionals are enthusiastic about their work and optimistic about the organization and its future. 

Do you possess these top 10 characteristics? If so, please apply today!
