Five Tips for Aligning a Candidate’s
Job Expectations With Reality
If your organization’s onboarding process doesn’t begin
until the first day on the job, you might be a little late.
The interviewing process is the best time to talk openly
about the position and the organization’s culture, set
expectations and clarify goals. If a new hire’s job expectations aren’t aligned with
reality, those critical first 90
days may not go smoothly.
Here are five tips to help
ensure a prospective candidate accepts an offer based
on fact, not fiction:
Market the job
accurately. Ensure
the advertised job
description accurately
reflects the roles, responsibilities and goals for the position. Be prepared to discuss
a typical work day, the
hours required, management
styles and opportunities
for growth.
Don’t give in to
temptation to
“oversell.” Paint a realistic picture of what it is
like to work in your organization, including its strengths
and weaknesses. Avoid misleading potential candidates
so they have an opportunity to make an informed
decision.
Ask good questions. Focus on questions that
allow candidates to demonstrate their capabilities, their skill in identifying and solving problems,
their flexibility and adaptability during change, and their
ability to achieve results.
Gain alignment. To ensure expectations and
needs are aligned, ask candidates what specific
capabilities they bring to the position that would
make them a good fit. Identify
key motivators. Ask what factors will be considered when
evaluating an offer.
Pull back the
curtain. Serious
candidates should be
offered an opportunity to
“kick the tires,” tour the
department and briefly meet
with key team members to
gain an understanding of
dynamics of the team and
day-to-day work environment.
It’s important to be open and
honest about what your organization can offer a prospective candidate. When new
employees are able to make
a decision based on facts,
they begin a new role much
more confident and engaged—both key to the goal of
making a successful new hire.
