LA Marketing Are Looking For Five Key Attributes

SPRINGDALE, AR, February 2014 – It can be easy to overlook the vital importance of great people.

Of course, every company wants stellar employees who are impactful, high performers. Identifying those high performers, however, takes hard work in recruiting, screening resumes and interviewing.

Here are five key attributes that LA Marketing look for in candidates:

Horsepower: Take intelligence over experience. Job descriptions alone can intimidate a lot of people -- particularly younger people, who often feel that they lack the experience that the job description suggests they will need. An intelligent candidate can quickly learn a job and frequently ends up doing it better than someone (less intelligent) who has been doing a similar job elsewhere. Experience is certainly valuable, but brains are the horsepower that drives the business.

Ownership and pride: No matter your current job or where you are in your career, are you focused and engaged and do you take ownership? Do you have pride in what you are doing? Do you have pride in your colleagues and your company? Ownership and pride apply to life, and apply to how you will succeed -- or not -- as a teammate in business.

Work ethic: The valued team member is not only the one willing to work hard; she is the one who searches out ways to contribute most. She should have a work history of having demonstrated not only a willingness to contribute, but a desire to lead, come up with ideas on her own and to grasp fully the feeling of pride in his or her accomplishments.

Integrity: This is an attribute that is not always easy to flesh out. But it is too important to gloss over in the interview process. Try to gauge integrity by asking interviewees for examples of difficult decisions they have had to make or ethical dilemmas they've faced. Look for candid responses as to how they handled these situations. What was their decision-making process?

Teamwork: So much of what we do involves collaboration that we must have team players across our business. It is good for business results and our corporate culture. You want people who are ego-less and put the interests of the company above their own and are eager to share information and help their co-workers.

This year, LA Marketing will hire a substantial number of new candidates. Success is evident through productivity and growth. It is also evident in the engagement and enthusiasm I see among team members -- smart, hard-working people thrive alongside other smart, hard-working people.
