SnapDragon Associates: Connecting Top Talent with Jobs that Match Their Goals
Posted on May 14, 2024
A client asked us 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 Culture and what we look for in a candidate regarding fit. We aim to find people who love their jobs and stay for a long time. The key to longevity in most people is finding a job that fits them well and helps them reach two goals: Professional Goals and Personal Goals. To match the right candidate to the right job, you have to do more than match candidates with jobs based on skills; you have to focus on aligning personal goals with professional aspirations. And you know what? This approach has some pretty incredible benefits! Personal Goals are as crucial to a great hire as professional goals. You can get hired as an Operations Manager, which could be a career goal, but if that role does not allow you to have weekends off to spend with family, it does not meet the personal goal of work/life balance. For that reason, this will never be a long-term hire.
Why Finding the Right Fit Matters – Whether a job aligns with personal and professional goals matters. Here’s why:
Stick Around Longer
When your job aligns with what you love to do, you’re more likely to stick around. When a job aligns with your personal life goals, the better the stick. SnapDragon’s approach reduces turnover because happy and fulfilled employees feel connected to their work and are motivated to grow within the company.
Happier Campers
Who doesn’t want to be happy at work, right? Matching personal passions with job responsibilities leads to increased job satisfaction. When you enjoy what you do, work becomes much more fun!
Boost in Productivity
Passion fuels productivity. You naturally put in your best effort when you’re passionate about your work. Aligning personal and professional goals drives employees to excel, leading to higher productivity.
SnapDragon’s Magic Touch
SnapDragon Associates gets it; it’s not complicated. We take the time to understand your skills, dreams, and aspirations. By digging deep into what makes the candidate tick, we ensure that the roles we place the individual in are not just a job but a perfect fit for them. Through personalized open dialogue and detailed assessments, SnapDragon identifies what makes them unique and documents their strengths, interests, and goals. This customized approach ensures that when a top professional is matched with a role, it’s not just a job; it’s an opportunity that excites them.
In a nutshell, finding a job that aligns with both personal and professional goals is a game-changer. SnapDragon Associates’ dedication to connecting talent with roles that resonate on an individual level sets the stage for success in the building materials industry. By putting the candidate’s well-being and fulfillment first, SnapDragon builds strong relationships between employers and employees and drives growth and excellence within organizations.
