En bref, quand je trouve un compendium comme celui-ci, j’aime prendre les points de données et les conseils et le désosser. Vous repartez avec de bonnes idées sur la façon dont certaines des entreprises les plus prospères disent recruter et embaucher les meilleurs candidats – des stratégies que vous pouvez emprunter pour les utiliser dans votre propre entreprise, si elles postulent.
Exemple: Alphabet, société mère de Google.
Chaque année, selon les données les plus récentes que j’ai vues, plus de 2 millions de personnes postulent pour travailler chez Google. C’est un chiffre époustouflant, car il représente plus de 12 fois plus de personnes qui y travaillent actuellement en premier lieu.

Afin d’être en mesure de gérer ce volume de candidats avec tout ce qui ressemble même de loin à l’efficacité, Google devrait avoir deux choses en place:
Tout d’abord, les systèmes les plus efficaces possibles : des systèmes de gestion des candidats à la sélection basée sur l’IA, en passant par une mine de données informant des choses comme comment recruter, comment interviewer et comment évaluer les candidats.
Deuxièmement, et un précurseur du premier point, vraiment: une idée claire des types de personnes qui réussiront bien chez Google, même indépendamment des titres de poste et des responsabilités spécifiques, car ceux-ci sont susceptibles de changer avec le temps, de toute façon.
Les réponses que l’entreprise a fournies à LinkedIn ont plus à voir avec le deuxième point. Voici les faits saillants :
Ne cherchez pas autant de diplômes que de compétences. (« Google n’exige pas de diplômes universitaires pour toutes les nouvelles embauches. »)
Filtrez et recherchez « capacité cognitive générale ». (« La compétence supérieure est de loin la capacité cognitive générale, en particulier les compétences de résolution de problèmes. Même si un employé potentiel n’est pas aussi versé dans un domaine ou une technique particulière qu’un autre candidat, s’il nous montre une forte capacité à résoudre un problème qu’il n’a jamais rencontré auparavant, nous trouvons que c’est le meilleur indicateur de succès.
Filtrez et recherchez « l’état d’esprit de croissance », que les candidats « entrent simplement sur le marché du travail ou aient des décennies d’expérience ».
Recherchez des candidats qui se montrent prometteurs pour grandir au-delà du rôle pour lequel ils sont considérés. (« Nous voulons quelqu’un qui va relever de nouveaux défis au fur et à mesure qu’ils arrivent et qui va devenir de nouvelles responsabilités au fil du temps. C’est quelque chose que nous avons soutenu par la recherche. »)
Maintenant, je doute que vous ayez le même problème qu’Alphabet. Le volume de candidats cité signifie qu’en moyenne, Google présenterait une nouvelle demande toutes les 15 secondes, 24 heures sur 24, 7 jours sur 7.
Malgré tout, je pense qu’il y a au moins deux bonnes idées à prendre en compte pour presque toutes les entreprises à partir de cette compilation:
Regardez au-delà des qualifications traditionnelles. Vous voulez des gens qui sont qualifiés et qui ont les bonnes compétences, mais peut-être que l’utilisation de diplômes ou de certifications pour réduire votre filtre n’est pas aussi efficace qu’une fois cousue.
Investissez dans les gens plus que vous n’investissez dans des postes spécifiques. Si vous voulez des gens qui vont grandir, vous avez besoin de rôles et d’opportunités dans lesquels ils peuvent grandir.
Les lecteurs réguliers savent peut-être que j’ai fait ce genre de chose avec Google dans le passé. Par exemple, nous avons :
Ils disent que les bons artistes empruntent, mais que les grands artistes volent. Vous n’avez pas besoin de vouloir travailler chez Google – ou ailleurs que vous-même – pour que ce type d’informations soit précieux pour votre entreprise. Et peut-être vaut-il la peine d’un balayage rhétorique
It's intended for potential applicants, but I like to use it for something else -- something that can help business leaders and entrepreneurs of all stripes.
\n
In short, when I find a compendium like this, I like to take the data points and advice and reverse engineer it. You walk away with good insights into how some of the most successful companies say they recruit and hire top candidates -- strategies you can borrow to use in your own business, if they apply.
\n
Case in point: Alphabet, parent company of Google.
\n
Every year, according to the most recent data that I've seen, more than 2 million people apply to work at Google. That's a mind-blowing number, as it represents more than 12 times as many people currently working there in the first place.
\n
In order to be able to manage that applicant volume with anything even remotely resembling efficiency, Google would have to have two things in place:
\n
\t
First, the most efficient possible systems: Everything from candidate management systems, to AI-enabled selection, to a trove of data informing things like how to recruit, how to interview, and how to assess candidates.
\t
Second, and a precursor to the first point, really: a clear sense of what kinds of people will do well at Google, even regardless of specific job titles and responsibilities, since those are likely to change over time, anyway.
\n
The answers the company provided to LinkedIn have more to do with the second point. Here are the highlights:
\n
\t
Don't look for degrees as much as you look for skills. (\"Google does not require college degrees for all new hires.\")
\t
Screen and search for \"general cognitive ability.\" (\"The top skill by far is general cognitive ability, especially problem-solving skills. Even if a potential hire isn't as well-versed in a particular field or technique as another candidate, if they show us a strong ability to work through a problem they haven't encountered before, we find that to be the best indicator of success.\")
\t
Screen and search for \"growth mindset,\" regardless of whether applicants are \"just entering the workforce or have decades of experience.\"
\t
Search for candidates who show promise to grow beyond the role they're being considered for. (\"We want someone who is going to meet new challenges as they come and grow into new responsibilities over time. This is something we've backed up with research.\")
\n
Now, I doubt you have the same problem that Alphabet has. The applicant volume cite means that on average, Google would field a new application every 15 seconds, 24/7.
\n
Even so, I think there are at least two good thought-starters for almost any business to consider from this compilation:
\n
\t
Look beyond traditional qualifications. You want people who are qualified and have the right skills, but maybe using degrees or certifications to narrow your filter isn't as efficient as it once seamed.
\t
Invest in people more than you invest in specific positions. If you want people who will grow, you need roles and opportunities that they can grow into.
\n
Regular readers might know that I've done this sort of thing with Google in the past. For example, we've:
\n
\t
Broken down what I call the \"X-Y-Z Formula,\" which is how Google explains says it wants applicants to formulate accomplishments on their resumes.
They say good artists borrow, but great artists steal. You don't have to want to work at Google -- or anywhere other than yourself -- for this kind of information to be valuable to your business. And maybe worth a rhetorical swipe
