As organizations, we attract who we are more so than who we want.

Building Your Employment Brand is all about creating a reputation that attracts the talent that fits into and improves our organizational culture.

By defining clear values, following a shared mission, and giving employees an opportunity to make a difference, you create a clear idea of what your organization is all about and can advertise it accordingly. 

Here’s how the QLT Framework would help you Build Your Employment Brand:

• Identifying values/ mission
• How to create a culture that is passionate about the mission
• How to get clear on what you offer to candidates

When hiring new employees, there is often a larger focus on the skill set of the candidate, than the value set of the candidate.

While the skill set is of great importance, it is even more important that we hire people who align with our values and are inspired to propel our organization forward.

A WHO sCOREcard is a set of questions specific to your organization that help you decide if the qualified candidates are quality candidates.

Here’s how the QLT Framework would help you Deploy the WHO sCOREcard:

• How to identify your ideal employee
• How to ask the right questions in the interview process
• How to identify qualified, and quality talent

If you are seeking to fill a position with a warm body, then continue using your old job ads from the past.

If you’re seeking to hire quality talent, then you need to update your approach. Your ads shouldn’t just list the duties and perks of the job.

If you want to attract people who propel you forward, you need to advertise the value of the position and how the job will develop the individual. 

Here’s how the QLT Framework would help you Sharpen Your Job Ads:

• How to speak to the heart of candidates
• How to articulate your values to attract likeminded talent
• How to share value and identify development opportunities for new hires

The best way to decide if someone is a good fit for your team is to interview as a team.

Now, interviewing as a team sounds hectic and time-consuming, and it is if you fail to prepare properly.

If you are prepared with intentional questions, and strategies to determine the qualification of candidates, then the team interview is wildly beneficial in the selection process. 

Here’s how the QLT Framework would help you Interview as a Team:

• How to prepare the right employees for the interviews
• How to form questions that determine the qualifications, and quality of candidates
• How to use a scoring matrix to aid your decision process

The Closing the Deal, or Closing the Loop strategy ties back to your employment brand (a.k.a. your reputation.)

In order to protect your employment brand, you must not only value your current employees, but also candidates. Your candidates should feel valuable, respected, and should never be left hanging.

If you don’t close the deal, you need to know how to close the loop.

Here’s how the QLT Framework would help you Close the Deal, or Close the Loop:

• How to make great offers
• How to make candidates feel valued, and respected
• How to close the loop with proper communication
