Trivu, an ecosystem of young talent, has identified eleven qualities that - on a recurring basis - HR professionals look for in personnel selection experts when incorporating new employees.

In an increasingly demanding labor market, knowing these qualities and enhancing them in the job interview can make the difference between getting a job or being discarded.

  • Authenticity. Talent recruitment experts seek differentiation in candidates. Therefore, having people in the selection processes that are shown as they are and are proud of what makes them different is very important.
  • Attitude and motivation. HR professionals look primarily at the attitude of the candidates. It is important to show interest, desire to carry out projects and work in the company.
  • Proactivity. Candidates must know how to convey the ability to take the initiative in the development of projects and when solving the different situations that arise.
  • Adaptability. Work is constantly evolving, so tolerance for changes and prompt adaptation to them is a quality highly valued by companies.
  • Commitment. A person potentially committed to the company and its objectives is essential for the organization.
  • Polyvalence. An employee with skills in different fields that can cover different phases within the same project is valued very positively.
  • Bargaining power. Especially for jobs that require a constant relationship with suppliers and customers, companies are looking for candidates who manage to reduce costs and expand margins.
  • Teamwork. It is essential to have a good relationship with the rest of the team, accept suggestions and opinions, have the ability to follow instructions and correctly play their role within the group.
  • Positive attitude. Quality highly valued by companies. They are looking for enthusiastic, flexible and optimistic people.
  • Ability to transform problems into challenges. Attitude of constant search for issues that can be improved. Identify problems, transform them into challenges and materialize them into solutions. This is the key.
  • Passion. Human Resources experts are interested in knowing the hobbies of the candidates, as it can help demonstrate dedication and commitment. The restlessness outside the labor scope usually moves within the organizations at the time of being formed, to be interested and to learn in a constant way.

Jorge de Amescua, Head of Engagement of Trivu, explains that "when a company embarks on a selection process, it is usually faced with a large number of talented people that makes the election of the optimal candidate complicated. We should not only have in it counts that it fulfills the necessary competences for the exercise of the functions that it is going to carry out, but that it possesses a series of interpersonal abilities, like the proactivity or the capacity of adaptation, that distinguishes them from the rest of candidates."

"Knowing how to identify and enhance these skills is an essential task to maximize organizations through proper talent management, because we must never forget that the success of organizations is in people," adds De Amescua.
