Introducing ROOTSTOCK RECRUITER
As your organization experiences rapid growth, you may find that your current leadership team lacks the necessary skills to meet the demands of an evolving market. While promoting from within is often ideal, it isn't always an option.
This is where the risk comes into play.
Research consistently shows that hiring new leaders carries significant risks, with many placements failing to meet expectations. Unfortunately, it can take two to three years to recognize a poor fit, during which time your company may waste resources, harm its culture, and hinder growth. In some cases, valuable employees leave.
The traditional recruiting paradigm frequently produces suboptimal outcomes due to several key issues:
It may attract candidates focused on title or salary rather than aligning with your organization's values.
It often appeals to under-performers pressured to leave their current roles.
It overlooks key factors for long-term success, like cultural fit, leadership, and alignment with company values and strategy.
Recruiters prioritize securing a hire, often disregarding the candidate's long-term success and integration.
Companies with weak cultures and unclear mission/strategy tend to cycle through leaders, as flaws remain hidden in standard recruitment processes.
Conclusion:
The traditional recruiting model requires a comprehensive overhaul to better serve the long-term interests of organizations and protect the career of the candidate.
