Creating an engaging and personable candidate experience is crucial now more than ever in a candidate-scarce market with fierce competition for top talent. However, it would be best if you struck a balance between it and hiring the best person for the job.

Today, we know that every person is made up of a number of layers, which are generally considered the “onion layers.” Human beings must, therefore, constantly be viewed from the perspective of their surroundings, referring to behavior that the environment influences.

While in everyday life, people tend to use the terms skills and abilities interchangeably or synonymously, the fact is that these are two entirely different terms.

Just as people can differ, so can businesses. This is what you call business culture, your company’s personality and how it presents itself to individuals outside the organization. To avoid having teams made up entirely of the same individuals, HR managers and the C-suite are interested in growing their corporate culture, seeking candidates who can fit the culture better and improving their skills and talents.

Let’s face it, the world we live and function in is ever-evolving. With the increasing connectivity and accessibility, today’s business world is becoming smaller and smaller while ironically being on a global level. Thanks to the never-ending technological advancement, big, medium, or small companies have the privilege to discover, connect, and recruit the best people without having to travel the world. 

The abbreviation DISC is frequently used to refer to the four personality traits that aid in defining personality types when discussing personality features. These character traits can give employers valuable information about a candidate to help predict future professional success or business disruption.

The history of personality type theory development is extensive. Understanding a person’s personality has long been a source of interest for many in psychology and social sciences, whether from the writings of Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, or others.

“An enterprise is only as good as its workforce.”

This old saying still holds in our ever-changing work culture, and business landscape, where finding an employee with appropriate skills for the job role has become vital to corporate success. Businesses have used several tools over the last few decades to find the people they believe are suitable for the job, with varying degrees of success.

You initiate a business with utmost attention to detail. From conducting thorough market research and competitive analysis to strategizing every step of the process, you formulate well-thought-of plans to run your business. However, you emphasize the processes and not the people, which leads to lower productivity and eventually a not-so-successful business.
