| CareerBuilder suggests hiring compatible, not perfect, job candidates
CHICAGO, April 9 () -- U.S. employers having difficulty finding a perfect match for a job opening might do well to think outside the box, CareerBuilder said Tuesday.CareerBuilder said nearly half of all employers -- 47 percent -- indicated that they almost always hire a candidate who has had the same job title in the past. Meanwhile, "Nearly three-in-ten employers currently have open positions for which they can't find qualified candidates," President of CareerBuilder North America Brent Rasmussen said.That adds up to frustrated employees and employers -- those who just miss out on a job because their qualifications don't match up perfectly and employers with production goals unmet because the perfect candidate has yet to fill a job.CareerBuilder suggests "pursuing alternative talent pools.""Instead of waiting for the perfect hire, we see more companies hiring workers from closely related occupations who won't require a great deal of training and can get up to speed quickly," Rasmussen said.For example, an opening for an electrical engineering technician could be filled by a candidate with backgrounds that include audio and video equipment technician,[url=http://www.godsdrama.com/]true religion men[/url], camera and photographic equipment repairers or computer user support specialists, CareerBuilder said.Economic Modeling Specialists International, a CareerBuilder company, has developed a compatibility index that can help employers fill jobs when the perfect candidate has yet to appear, the company said.An employer could hire an automotive body and repair technician to fill a job as a machinist,[url=http://www.tjmobiles.com]Jimmy Choo Sale[/url], CareerBuilder said.Another might hire an occupational therapy aide to work as a medical assistance. To fill an accountant position with a median salary of $62,483, an employer might hire either a tax examiner and collector, a position with a median salary of $49,961 or a credit analyst, which has a median salary of $61,672, CareerBuilder said. |
