improving recruitment
Displacement of routine tasks, evolving job roles, and the inability to automate certain tasks will be key reasons for an increase in demand for Emotional Intelligence skills. Organisations need to modify their recruitment processes to include the evaluation of Emotional Intelligence in their candidates. These skills are as important as a candidate's intellect in determining success at work and in life.
Emotional Intelligence in recruitment
In addition to development, successful organisations are now integrating emotional intelligence into their recruitment management process. The World Economic Forum identified emotional intelligence as being one of the top 15 skills which will grow in prominence by 2025. As the demand for emotionally intelligent behaviours increases, it becomes necessary to assess a candidates emotional intelligence capabilities when selecting and hiring new employees.
Utilising a validated emotional intelligence selection instrument in the hiring process provides critical information regarding the candidate’s demonstration of emotional intelligence and when combined with other selection best practices adds another dimension of information to the decison making process. The EI Recruit report assesses 70 behaviours that underpin emotional intelligence and provides a list of suggested interview questions and comparative scale to help determine your most suitable candidate.
