Wanted: genius: First, companies identify the creative leaders of tomorrow. Then they woo them

Article Abstract:

Creative people are a raw material for high-technology businesses, which means recruitment is an ongoing necessity for such companies. Technology companies sometimes establish relationships with student prospects as early as the students' high school years. Companies often maintain relationships with computer and engineering departments at universities. Potential recruits are not only influenced by pay, but also by factors such as work environments or projects on which they will have an opportunity to work. Recruits are also concerned about their future education, and companies such as HP therefore offer arrangements for tuition reimbursement and on-the-job coursework.

Skills screening

Article Abstract:

The number of qualified skilled employees is diminishing, prompting employers to be more skill-specific in screening job applicants. A survey revealed that since 1987 the demand for workers with organizational, computer and communications skills has grown. There is also a lack of workers skilled in technical knowhow, math and customer service. For a more intensive screening of applicants, 38% of employers test for the technical skills essential to a position, and 25% test for computer, basic math and written communication skills.

The art of the interview

Article Abstract:

A properly handled job interview yields the most qualified candidates and starts with a properly worded classified advertisement to increase the probability of suitable responses. Resumes that meet the job criteria are systematically screened and evaluated. Only the most competent prospective employees are then short-listed for interviews. The interviewing process involves describing the company to the candidate, asking questions that reveal the candidate's skills and allowing the candidate to ask questions.
