In our recent podcast, we spoke with Diana Téllez and Richard Ramírez, Regional Coordinators of Recruitment and Selection at Grupo STT. These experts shared valuable insights on employability, the skills most sought after by companies, and strategies to stand out in the competitive selection process.
Employability can be defined as an individual’s ability to find and perform a job based on qualifications, experience, and competencies. This translates into suitability for adapting to the job market and a specific role. In today’s dynamic job market, companies seek not only technical skills but also competencies that reflect adaptability and a commitment to success. In-demand skills include achievement orientation, problem-solving, motivation, continuous learning ability, adaptability to change, social skills, resilience, responsibility, integrity, and commitment. These competencies vary depending on the job profile and the organizational culture of each company.
During interviews, some candidates make mistakes that can impact their process, such as tardiness, dishonesty, lack of willingness, or disinterest—aspects to avoid. Diana Téllez emphasized the importance of introspection before participating in a selection process and being honest if one is not interested in the position.
Strategies to Stand Out in the Selection Process
Personal presentation and preparation are crucial to standing out during the selection process. Keeping the resume updated, understanding the applying company, and aligning the profile with the requirements are key strategies. Additionally, willingness for interviews and tests demonstrates commitment and professionalism.
Regarding key questions during an interview, it is essential for interviewers to focus on defining evaluation criteria. These criteria include experience, technical skills, salary expectations, compatibility with the company’s culture, and competencies. Methodologies such as critical incident interviews and strength-based recruitment are effective approaches to assess candidates.
Tips for Improving Internal Recruitment Processes
Internal recruitment is key to identifying and developing existing talent within the organization. To improve these processes, it is suggested to foster a culture of internal development, maintain transparent communication, implement talent management systems, and offer mentoring and skills development programs.
