Handling the Interviewing Process Opposed to Simply Screening the Applicant

Many recruiting firms put potential applicants through a "screening" process prior to sending you that applicant to interview. Many times this screening process is a matter of an inexperienced recruiter comparing your objective criteria to resumes on file - criteria such as years of experience or education level. Comparison of objective criteria is rarely much more than an administrative skill and far from a critical component of selecting the top-producer. Locating the top-producer requires endless hours of interviewing with questions that require subjective responses, and then the interviewer needing to differentiate the validity of each response. Furthermore, the interviewer needs to assess whether the applicant's past record as a top-producer can be repeated for your company.

No Conflict of Interest

Peak Performance is not a placement firm therefore we do not focus our efforts on placing clients who have paid us to find them a job. Many recruiting firms handle both ends of the hiring game, and often make far more money if they place an individual whom they have already contracted with. Therefore the recruited has a substantial vested interest in directing you towards their existing client base although that may not be in your best interests.

Why what looks like a great hire, often fails to produce: When the Applicant begins working for you, we continue working for you.

The primary difference between Peak Performance and other Recruiting companies is our job doesn't end when you hire the applicant. For the first ninety days on the job your applicant is exposed to:

  • Training-If you simply rely on the sales persons representations regarding past and future success coupled with product knowledge training you are again simply relying on what may have failed in the past.
  • Tracking to ensure the day to day behavior required to succeed is adhered to. This tracking gives your applicant a head start in producing sales and prevents him or her from developing bad habits during the initial honeymoon period
  • Ongoing coaching and monitoring to aid the applicant in closing his or her initial deals, prevent pipeline bloat, and ensure that your newly placed candidate is on his or her way to sales success
