Read Your Candidate – Using NLP Techniques To Ensure You Hire The Right People

Introduction

How do you hire the right people? Very, very carefully! Hiring people, or rather finding the right people, for your organisation is the biggest, most challenging process. The challenge is that naturally, the candidate is putting his best foot forward, but you need to see both his feet.

The candidate is on his or her best behaviour, is punctual, provides a firm handshake, makes great eye contact, and has very positive body language. The candidate also has the best answers you’ve heard in a while. Well, you get the picture.

Introducing Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to the hiring process adds valuable additional dimensions. Just because someone has a great CV and comes across well at interview, does not necessarily mean he is right for the job. By using NLP techniques to determine the working preferences and motivations of the candidate, and matching them to what the job requires, you can make a much more effective appointment. In addition, using precision questions to interview, you will be able to uncover valuable information about the individual and their more deeply held beliefs, attitudes and thinking patterns. All these indicate how well someone is suited to a job and to the culture of the company.
