Height of Value
Candidate's Value to Your Organization

Knowing What's Important

The production of value is the most important criteria of hiring and should be your most important search criteria.

Value is not salary; worth does not flow from a job title. Knowing what's important to a company means looking beyond job titles and compensation tables, especially in the world of high tech, where sudden changes and uncertainty are the norm. Knowing how to evaluate the worth of someone's contribution is the important element. Being able to asses a candidate's star performance capabilities is the key between average and extraordinary. PMI finds that value.

There are two elements you need to consider:

  • Understanding thoroughly what the value contribution is that you want.
  • Understanding how you'll know when you find it.

Hight-tech workers are on the edge of change, and they see better than anyone else how their worth measures up.

What's the VALUE you are looking for, from an employee's contribution to your company?

Especially for it's senior positions, a high-tech company is rarely looking to fill in a box on a standard employee recruitment form. Usually, high-tech companies are looking for something more nebulous, and more important.

You are looking for a senior person who can deliver a QUALITY , not a quantity. Instead of filling in a box, you are looking to explode out from an open-ended, initiative-driven space.

Qualities are difficult to find, measure or test in an ordinary recruitment drive.

And you don't find those qualities by searching for specific salary levels -- the qualities that make up the new Value Table are money-resistant.

The New Value Table

The Qualities that create value for your company:

Your Value Requirements
The Quality That Counts

High-energy enthusiasm for the job, regardless of the hours worked Work is a game -- an integral, vibrant part of his or her life.
The money is not only not the most important issue - it's beside the point Internal pride to leave a "legacy signature" on their work, rather than strive for a paycheck
Enduring performance An ability to stay and finish the race, because not finishing is inconceivable emotionally
"Think around corners" to creatively problem-solve Has an inner voice saying "There's always a way [to create a technology fix: make a deal]
