Behavioural traits can be assessed at any point during the selection window.

Recruiters have their reputations on the line with every placement they make.

So naturally enough, they are always looking for RED FLAGS that may jeopardise their client relationships (i.e. clients being both JobSeekers and Hiring Managers).

Here are some behaviours that may undermine your professional credibility and chances of securing your next job:

1. Treating admin staff rudely
2. Turning up late without an apology
3. Slow responses to calls, emails, or texts
4. Suddenly taking leave in initial weeks
5. Absence without prior permission
6. Giving incomplete referee details
7. Wishy-washy commitment responses
8. Undue delays signing a contract
9. Wrong tax, bank, super, timesheet info
10. Sketchy reference checks

You'll notice that most of the above issues are related to COMMUNICATION and RELIABILITY!

Nail this, and recruiters will love recommending you.

Bridging the Onboarding Gap: Expectations vs. Reality 🌟
Feeling like a fish out of water in your new job? You’re not alone! Transitioning into a new workplace rhythm takes patience, focus, and time. It is vital to start conversations early and deconstruct onboarding expectations from both sides of the table.
 
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐎𝐘𝐄𝐑'𝐒 𝐏𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖

Picture this: A highly-skilled, top-dollar team member arrives overflowing with confidence and soaring expectations. But hold on! What happens if the onboarding experience falls flat and leaves doubts in its wake? Colleagues raise eyebrows, managers question the selection process, and you're bewildered. What has gone wrong? A behind-closed-doors check-in might reveal hidden issues that are easy to fix.
 
1️⃣ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐮𝐦

You assumed new hires know the ins and outs of your company, its values, and what's expected of them. However, it turns out that clarity can be a slippery slope. It's important to ensure newbies get a comprehensive overview of Company goals, culture, and vision.
 
2️⃣ 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐞

You're eager for your new team members to hit the ground running, but they can succeed with proper training and resources. Inadequate guidance can lead to satisfaction, increased productivity, and even losing valuable talent who feel overlooked.
 
3️⃣ 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡

You want your team to be well-oiled, but integrating new hires into the mix can be challenging. Disconnection creates a ripple effect that affects everyone. Neglecting to foster meaningful connections and social integration can leave newbies feeling isolated and unsupported.

1️⃣ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐦𝐚

As a fresh face in a new workplace, you come in expecting a smooth onboarding process, ready to contribute and make an impact from day one. But reality often serves up a steep learning curve and an adjustment period. You start to question why you left your last employer.
 
2️⃣ 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝

Picture this: you're bombarded with an avalanche of information that feels impossible to digest. Instead of the bite-sized chunks you need, you're left drowning in a sea of data. A well-structured onboarding program should dish out knowledge in manageable portions.
 
3️⃣ 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐒𝐎𝐒

Feeling lost and unsupported during onboarding can be a major buzzkill. Timely feedback, mentoring, and guidance from supervisors and colleagues are lifelines for new staff members, helping them confidently navigate their roles.
