Hiring and Recruiting
Does
Schmidt's description of the Google Culture make sense to you?
Yes, after watching the video Hiring and Recruiting, I know understand
more about Google culture and how Google hires and requites new employees. Google’s
culture is center on “passion”, doing what you do because you love doing it! Most
of Google employees are self motivated and require little management. To me,
that shows how effective Google is at hiring and reciting new employees. Although
Google understands interpersonal differences, they seek to find candidates that
are compatible with existing organizational members; they recruit people who are
self driven and who know how to be team player. Overall, this method has been
proven successful.
Is this a
reasonable way to view the work that most people are doing in your workplace?
Yes, my colleagues and I are very similar; we are all team
players and are all self -driven. With the increase in student population and
the lack of staffing, upper management does not have the time to delegate tasks
or participate in the decision making process; therefore, my colleagues and I
must use our best judgment and make executive decisions on our own.
As a
leader, does it take courage to have and to implement this point of view?
Personally, I don’t think courage is the right word to use
to describe Google’s hiring and recruiting process; although it takes courage to
hire a new employee, I think that Google uses creativity or innovation. Google has
the ability to use ingenuity and forward thinking to break the barriers of
traditional hiring and recruiting.
Could this
approach backfire?
Yes, if an employee vision no longer matches the vision on
the organization, then the employee will start doing what they want to do
instead of what they should be doing.
What can
you take away from this exercise to immediately use in your career?
I think that the biggest thing I can take away from this
video is how many organizations uses different tactics to hire and recruit new
employees. Overall, I think that many organizations are following in Google’s
footsteps, like Google, they understand how important it is to have self-driven
employees who know how to work as a team.
