Discussion Questions

1. Explain the importance of employee referrals to Hautelook’s recruiting.

 

Having been referred by an existing employee is an excellent indicator that the referred individual has good skills for the job and good character. Hautelook views referrals as the way to recruit the best new employees.

 

2. Why does Hautelook prefer internal candidates for promotion rather than hiring from outside?

 

Internal candidates already know the company’s business and values well, and know the people they will be working with, and do not have to go through a learning process to find out how the company functions and how to succeed in the company.

 

3. How does Hautelook recommend that job-seekers use employment agencies?

 

They recommend that job-seekers use private employment agencies that deal with a lot of the kinds of jobs in one’s own field, and that have recruiters that the job-seeker wants to work with.
