How to Create a Hiring Funnel That Filters for Coachability, Not Just Experience
As an organization striving for growth and innovation, it’s tempting to prioritize hiring candidates with an extensive track record. However, it’s also crucial to create a hiring funnel that values a candidate’s potential for growth or their “coachability.” Here’s how you can strike that balance:
1. Define Coachability in Your Organization
To start, understanding what coachability means in the context of your business is essential. Broadly, it refers to an individual’s willingness to accept and act on feedback. But every organization could have a unique interpretation of this term based on their values and goals.
2. Develop Clear Job Descriptions
A well-crafted job description lays the foundation for filtering coachable candidates. Highlight the skills and traits that signify coachability in your organization, such as adaptability, a positive attitude, or continuous learning.
3. Use Behavioral Interview Techniques
Behavioral interview techniques can help you assess a candidate’s coachability. Ask questions about how they’ve handled feedback in the past, how they’ve grown from their experiences, and how they approach continuous learning.
4. Create A Culture That Values Learning
Remember, attaining coachable employees starts from the top. Consider how your organization’s culture values continuous learning, curiosity, and improvement. If these values are embedded in your company’s culture, you are more likely to attract coachable candidates.
With the steps illustrated in this guide, you can successfully implement a hiring process that focuses on coachability as much as experience. A robust and varied team that’s enthusiastic about learning and growth will help your organization stay competitive and innovative.
