⭐️ 5 Signs you’re in the presence of 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 (a gold-star candidate) 🏆 🔍 Here at CP, we get to connect with thousands of candidates every day. Finding standout talent in today’s hyper-competitive job market might seem impossible, but we’ve uncovered some common threads among high-performers. Here are the qualities they all had in common 👇 1️⃣ Ownership mentality: high performers take initiative and demonstrate accountability in everything they do. 2️⃣ Genuine excitement and passion: their energy is contagious ☀️ Their eyes light up when they speak about projects they’ve done in their career. They don’t just like their work – they love it. 3️⃣ Curious and lifelong learner: at every interview they’re asking thoughtful questions. They show a hunger to learn, grow, and challenge themselves. 4️⃣ Alignment with company mission: top candidates believe in what your company stands for. When their values align with your mission, they’re more engaged and likely to make an impact. 5️⃣ Proven succession and loyalty: look for candidates who grow those around them. Whether they’ve mentored others or been promoted multiple times, they leave a mark by driving personal + team growth. Loyalty doesn’t just mean long tenure - it means impactful contributions during their time at a company. It’s about the impact they’ve made more so than the title they held. Finding exceptional talent takes effort, but knowing what to look for can help you secure hires who’ll make a difference. ☁️ What other qualities should be included? #recruitment #hiringtips #goldcandidate

It’s typically used to assess whether a candidate will thrive in the company’s environment and contribute positively to its culture.

𝗕𝘂𝘁, 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀. ⭐️ When hiring - ask questions that provide insight into candidates’ motivations, adaptability, and approach to collaboration. ➡ 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦? 💫 When interviewing- ask questions to help you assess if this organization is a place where you’d feel supported and if there’s room for growth. ➡ 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘮?
