Oct. 20, 2010 - PRLog -- EATONTOWN, NJ – As the economy recovers and businesses enter the fourth quarter, companies are slowly beginning to hire again. With limited resources during a critical time period for organizations, employers know that their hiring decisions will be crucial to the future success of their businesses. Snelling Staffing – The Wyckoff Group (TWG), a staffing firm that works with local hiring managers, is informing job seekers of the four main qualifications employers will be looking for in candidates.

“If there’s one thing employers learned during the recession, it’s that each and every staff member has to be a well-rounded all-star,” says Frank Wyckoff, President of Snelling Staffing – TWG. “Managers will need to be extremely careful when making future hiring decisions.”

Wyckoff states that while there are many characteristics that impact a hiring authority’s decision, there are four non-negotiable factors businesses are looking for in potential employees:

Quality #1:  Ability to Do Multiple Jobs – As businesses strive to create a more productive workforce, they’re asking their employees to take on numerous roles and responsibilities. Many positions now require a person who can handle multiple functions for the organization.

Advice for Job-seeker: Learn and develop a wide range of skills to become a more versatile professional.

Quality #2: A Company-Culture Match – How you fit in is just as important as if you can do the job. Organizations need someone who fits in with their business culture. Employees who work well with others help boost team morale and create a more productive working environment.

Advice for Job-seeker: During the interview stage, ask questions to the interviewer about their company culture. Find ways to show you would fit in with the team dynamic.

Quality #3: Character – Employers look for people with a good set of core values. Professionals want to work with employees they would be proud to introduce to their family and friends.

Advice for Job-seeker:  Carve out time to do volunteer work with non-profits or community-based organizations. This will demonstrate to your interviewer that you contribute to the local area.

Quality #4: Drive – Employers want people with dedication and a great work ethic. They want to know that you genuinely care about the company’s growth and don’t just think of them as the “paycheck fairy”.

Advice for Job-Seeker: Show your passion about the company to the hiring official. Use examples to demonstrate the research you’ve done, why you should get the job and how you’ll exceed their expectations.

“Finding a great match is more important to employers now than ever before,” adds Wyckoff. “Make sure you find a way to emphasize quantifiable successes that demonstrate you are part of the solution for your prospective employer.”
