Skill-Based Hiring, Team Building, and Job Searching Services

For managers and teams, I offer coaching and team training to develop skill-based hiring techniques.

Up to 80% of employers use some form of skill-based hiring system. It is based on the premise that the best predictor of future performance is past performance. As a KornFerry certified instructor, I offer coaching and team training in the methods for identifying and evaluating candidates on skills they will need to succeed in the job, including competency modeling, writing skill-based job descriptions, interviewing preparation, and evaluating candidates.

I offer coaching for managers or others managing a hiring process. Engagements are highly individualized to help you and those responsible for building your team identify and clarify what it will take to be a productive team member, and then attract, interview, and evaluate who has the skills and capacity to thrive in this job. Contact me to discuss your needs.

For Individual Job Seekers

I offer job search coaching including resume and LinkedIn profile review, understanding Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), how to optimize your resume for particular jobs to increase your chance of getting through to a person, learning to use AI to enhance your resume, and interviewing preparation, coaching for salary and benefit negotiations, and coaching through the first 90 days of the on-boarding process to ensure success. Wherever you are in your job search process, contact me for an individual consultation to help you make the most of your next opportunity.

On-Boarding Services

On-boarding fulfills the promises made in the hiring process on both sides. The purpose of hiring is to find out what the hiree can do and what they will need to learn. A well designed on-boarding process increases the chance that they will learn what they need to thrive.

Effective on-boarding processes extend through the new hire’s first year. The first three months are particularly important and often determine whether the candidate’s ultimate ability to succeed in their new role.

I offer on boarding consultations for both organizations and individuals to help them prioritize effective knowledge gathering, learning processes, assessing teams and team members, establishing key relationships across peer groups and with direct reports, avoiding common pitfalls, building credibility, finding early wins, and focusing learning on key areas.
