1. Know the tools

“Work is becoming less traditionally structured, and we need people who have the initiative to integrate with colleagues, Sravni.ru writes. We are also looking for people who are able to use an ever-growing set of tools for communication and joint projects for effective work. You need to be able to use Slack, Trello, G Suite and other tools for teams, ”says Jan Raines-Loring, vice president of retail management platform at Springboard Retail.

2. Quickly learn new things

“The skill that becomes one of the most important in a successful candidate is the speed of learning. The speed with which a person can learn new things and cope with changes and complexity of tasks is becoming increasingly important for success, ”said David Nest, CEO of Nast Partners, a company specializing in talent management.

3. Develop "hard" and "soft" skills at the same time

"The combination of" soft "skills (soft skills) and the ability to work tactically highlights the most competitive candidates. Young talent, which can both interpret the data and effectively involve the person in the work of the opposite, brings tremendous value to any team, ”said Carol McDaniel, director of talent attraction for Delta Air Lines.

4. Go beyond job descriptions

“This can be called differently: team player, leader-servant, low ego. Each team wants to find such a multifaceted person who would have the authority to lead the team and attract a new business, but at the same time train the receptionist. A person who is able to roll up his sleeves and help not only within the framework of the description of his immediate duties, is of key importance to business, ”says Collin Drennen Pfäller, founder of the A Slice of HR recruiting company.

5. Be able to improve your position

“It is quite obvious from the resume when the applicant can do the job, but the employer will ask:“ How can he or she improve his position? ”. More visible will be candidates who are able to illustrate their growth outside the current position. It can be those who keep blogs, are included in the management boards of organizations, or provide professional advice to others, ”said Robin Schwartz, HR director at Career Igniter consulting service.

6. Corny look good

“Now the candidates give out crazy things. I’m looking for a traditional approach: candidates who are well-dressed (at least they come in a ironed shirt), send letters of thanks (e-mail will go) and bother to learn more about the company, ”shared the Chief Operating Officer of the educational company Financial Finesse, Daniel Starobin.

7. Show empathy

“I need people who can switch between generations with different ideas about technology, social norms and the role of business in society. I will look for those who know how to create connections, overcoming cultural and geographical distance, ”said Peter Dudley, director of cancer patients support for the Cancer Support Community.

8. Know yourself

“Candidates must demonstrate emotional intelligence - clearly understand who they are, how emotions affect their leadership, and also recognize the emotions of others in order to effectively manage relationships,” said Lisa Holmes, chief business strategist at the coaching company Strategic Performance of Los Angeles.
