Why do you need to an #HR round? I’ve selected the candidate and I have found him to be a fit for the role. Pls don’t waste any more time and initiate the offer process.
If this is what a functional manager tells you, what should your response as an #HR professional be?
An Art based response (e.g it helps us inform candidates about policies & culture, or we would understand if the candidate is really keen to join etc.), would surely make your Functional Stakeholder feel it’s a time waste round.
Always give science based answers when your stakeholders question the WHY.
What would a Science based answer be for this question?
You’ve surely checked the job-fit aspect of the candidate, however, it is important to know the Organization-Fit as well. It is proven that if an organization has a dynamic and changing environment and needs employees to be able to change tasks readily and move easily between teams, it’s more important that employees’ personalities fit with the overall organization’s culture and not only with the characteristics of any specific job. This is exactly what I intend to understand when I do my HR round.
Show them the value, always.
