Hiring Hearts: The Global Human Economy

Good leaders are those who apply principles that make the world more sustainable. Leadership is not all about creating staid business strategies and demanding orders to subordinates. It is about working with all people involved in a certain project and striving for mutual respect within the workplace regardless of ranks, professional backgrounds, and tenure. Leaders see their job not just as a source of substantial income, but also as a platform to inspire greatness in others.

More than two centuries ago, at the onset of the industrial revolution, business owners hired based on physical strength and legerdemain. Come knowledge economy, employers began selecting workers based on their intellectual might and knack for specialized information. Today, with new and efficient technologies emerging aplenty, there is fear that human capital may no longer be as crucial as it used to be. However, there will always be aspects of the business that only the human brain (or heart) will ever understand. Soft skills are increasingly becoming desirable amongst employers. The human economy will continue to thrive.

There are inimitable, human qualities that even the most sophisticated supercomputer will never possess. These include the ability to engage in collaboration and communication or to display passion, wit, grit, sympathy, or diligence. Today (and perhaps, for the rest of time), the human capital is the strategy itself. Businesses need more than just a human face; they require humanity to be instilled down to its core.

Building bridges through executive recruitment

Executive recruitment firms can help successful business leaders expand their opportunities for better or more exciting positions across their industry and beyond. Fostering excellent relationships with executive recruiters, therefore, makes excellent sense from a career building standpoint.

Executive recruiters can provide seasoned executives with a host of new opportunities, many of them high-paying and in dynamic new industries with plenty of room for growth. Although executive recruiters offer some of the best jobs available, they frequently advertise their services to companies rather than job hunters themselves. They do contact executives from time to time. The executive can take advantage of this and use it as an opportunity to showcase their talents and experience to make themselves attractive prospects for recruitment.

This rings true even when one is not actively searching for a new company or position in the first place. Only when the career-change decision is final should a candidate ever offer themselves directly to a recruiter. In the meantime, the relationship can be made amicable by offering equally talented peers in one's place, which has the added bonus of boosting relationships with a grateful colleague.

It sets a bad precedent to reject employment offers, and executives should make it clear to recruiting firms of positions that they are not interested in filling. Executive candidates should clearly explain why some positions are less than satisfactory matches to avoid any false assumptions. Likewise, they should also be candid in their career goals and be clear about which positions they would like to try for.
