We get it—not everyone who has the feeling that their recruiting function could be more efficient is ready to outsource. That’s why we’ve made the Recruiting Diagnostic available to our clients. Engage us to do a Recruiting Diagnostic for your organization, and we’ll unleash a systematic flurry of information requests and one-on-one interviews designed to help you understand the present state of recruiting in your company.

Some of what we’ll report back you’ll know, much of it you won’t. More importantly, after we collect the data, we’ll go into our lab with the express purpose of benchmarking your recruiting function against others who do it well, then we’ll tell you where the best ROI is for any investment of time and money you’re considering making in your Talent Acquisition function.

Along the way, we’ll look at everything—your process, efficiency, spend and marketing, as well as how people inside your company feel about recruiting. Like Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men , we know that most people can’t handle the truth. The good news is that you can, or you wouldn’t have read this far.

Give us a call and we’ll use our Recruiting Diagnostic process to help arm you with the data you need to get true change.

You already know what’s wrong with most training you send your managers to. You sign your managers up for a session on Leadership – maybe at a 3.5-star hotel with some standard meeting space and one of those fake Starbucks named “Coffee Town” . The description looks great, but – wait for it – your managers come back to the office, put the binder they received on the shelf, and make NO CHANGES related to how they manage people on a day to day basis.

We think there’s a better way, and that’s why Kinetix has invested in developing our own training platform for managers of people. We call it BOSS: Leadership Skills for the Modern Manager , and it’s designed to cut through the boredom usually associated with manager training.

Modules include sessions on Building Better Teams, Goal Setting, Coaching Skills, Delivering Performance Reviews, Compensation 101 for Managers and more (But we use non-clinical titles like Pop The Hood, Don’t Bore Me, Please Shut Up, You Don’t Suck and Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems).

We keep the non-traditional vibe and accompanying engagement levels up by using movie clips tied to the theme at the start of each section, providing Spotify playlists tied to the training and making sure interaction happens throughout the sessions.

How do you know it works?  We include something we call “The Playbook”, which is a short list of specific things your manager should be able to do once they come back from a “Boss” session. You can test them – they’ll be ready!

EMPLOYER VALUE PROPOSITION (EVP)

We know there’s a lot of talk out there about building your Employment Brand and how to market it both internally and externally. We’d like to argue that your Employment Brand is only as effective as your Employer Value Proposition (EVP). EVP is ground zero.

Simply put, EVP is an employee’s perspective on “what’s in it for me to work here?” and an employer’s communicated promise to its employees. Key components of an EVP may include: Compensation, Benefits, Affiliation, Career Prospects and Work Content.

The EVP is established by Kinetix through a series of focus groups and interviews with internal and external sources. The goal in establishing the EVP is not to rely on existing mission or value statements, but rather to get to what’s real related to why people love (and hate) to work for your company. Only by establishing this reality can you fully support your recruiting process and accurately position your employment brand – both of which we also have a team of experts to help you.

If you’re like most of our clients, you’ve got a review process, some forms and, at the end of the year, the herding of cats begins. “When are reviews due?”, “Who doesn’t have their reviews in yet?”, “Did you see Bob recommended that Sarah gets a 6% merit increase? I must crush him.”

Are we kidding about Bob? Maybe.

What you wanted to be strategic about has turned into a boring, transactional event.

You deserve more. Regardless of where you are today, Kinetix can help you transform how performance management is viewed in your organization by helping you focus on what truly delivers organizational results. Bring us in, and we’ll guide you through a process focused on real goal setting, building coaching skills in your managers, being fanatical about defining what good vs. great performance looks like at your company, and more .

If you’re really feeling frisky, we’ll even set you up with the holy grail of performance management—helping you create a philosophy that blends performance vs. potential and gives you a high level view of talent in your organization that leads directly to better workforce management and succession planning.

Taking a fresh look at performance has been on your list for a while, right? Give us a call and we’ll help you get started.

Life used to be so simple—you’d post to the big boards, then sit back and wait for the resumes to come in.

Then someone moved your cheese—Indeed, LinkedIn and Glassdoor to be specific. The recruitment marketing industry has changed significantly with Indeed owning SEO/search, LinkedIn owning the candidate database and Glassdoor owning the company reputation space.

Today, you need an analytics pro on your team—we call it Moneyball—to help you maximize your recruitment marketing spend.

Post and Pray is dead. Time to move on.

Our Recruitment Marketing Efficiency package is designed to help you evaluate your current Recruitment Advertising spend. We’ll help you identify where you spend and how it relates to both candidate flow, interviews and hires. Then we’ll go to the lab and come back with recommendations on how your spend should change based on what others are doing in your industry and beyond.

Regardless of where you are, Kinetix can help. Give us a shout on the Batphone and let’s talk shop.

Let’s say you’re the perfect judge of individual talent and who to hire in your organization. You’re not, because everyone misses in the hiring game. But let’s assume when people google “ clairvoyant”, your picture shows up in the image results. Nice.

You know what you’re not great at Nostradamus? Onboarding new talent into your organization with an eye on assimilation into your existing team and getting the most out of each individual based on how they’re wired.

That’s where Kinetix comes in with an eye on the development of your team performance strategy – post hire . Connect with our HR Consulting practice and we’ll show you how to build a team and get better business results through two specific types of engagements:

1. Using our TalentDNA Assessment Platform, we’ll map out what your team looks like from a cognitive, behavioral and coachability perspective and educate you and your team on what it means related to working together – for greater performance and results.
2. Using our innovative training module – “Pop The Hood: Building Better Teams Through the Use of Assessments”, we’ll train your managers on how to use assessments to get more performance out of every individual on the team. We’ll show you the customized approach that maximizes performance in every stage of the employee lifecycle.

Regardless of how good you are at selecting talent, you have unlimited opportunity to maximize performance by understanding what makes your employees and teams tick from a behavioral perspective. Bring Kinetix in to help, and we’ll show you how it’s all connected.
