Demonstrating Impact: SnapDragon’s Commitment to Quantifiable Results in the Hiring Process
Posted on May 21, 2024
A client asked me last week how we determine the “Right People” when searching. Finding the right person involves hitting on three key pillars: Skill Set, Quantifying Evidence of Performance, and Culture Fit. Let’s talk about Quantifying Evidence of Performance.
At SnapDragon, we believe in the power of quantifiable results when evaluating potential candidates. In today’s competitive job market, it’s not just about listing skills and experiences; it’s about showcasing tangible contributions and measurable impacts. This philosophy drives our rigorous selection process, prioritizing candidates who can substantiate their achievements with concrete data, such as proof of their past performance.
The Value of Quantifiable Impact – Why do we prioritize quantifying the impact of candidates’ past work? The answer is simple: numbers speak volumes. By providing specific metrics, figures, and outcomes, candidates demonstrate their ability to drive results and make a real difference in their roles. Whether it’s increasing revenue, reducing costs, improving efficiency, or boosting customer satisfaction, quantifiable results clearly show a candidate’s competency and effectiveness.
Deep Diving into References – To gauge a candidate’s impact in their previous positions, we understand that it takes more than just reviewing their resume or conducting a standard interview. That’s why at SnapDragon, we invest hours deep diving into a candidate’s references. By speaking with former colleagues, supervisors, and clients, we aim to understand the candidate’s performance and achievements comprehensively.
Uncovering the True Value – Through meticulous reference checks, we strive to find the actual value that a candidate brings to the table. We look for stories of initiative, innovation, problem-solving, and leadership backed by quantifiable results. Did the candidate lead a project that resulted in a 20% increase in sales? Did they implement a strategy that led to a 30% improvement in customer retention? We seek to validate these types of impactful narratives during the selection process.
Positive Impact on the Bottom Line – At SnapDragon, we are particularly interested in candidates with a track record of positively impacting the bottom line. Whether through revenue generation, cost savings, process improvements, or other measurable outcomes, we value candidates who can directly link their actions to business success. By prioritizing candidates who can prove their impact in a quantifiable fashion, we ensure that our team is composed of individuals who drive meaningful results and contribute to our overall growth and success.
