 EMPLOYEE RELATIONS
The most important skill hiring
managers are looking for in HR
candidates is the ability to
strengthen the employer-employee
relationship. It's your job to
demonstrate to the interviewer that
you have the ability to identify and
resolve employee concerns, and
develop a work environment that is
satisfying for both employer and
employee alike.
HOW TO DEMONSTRATE
THIS SKILL
▪ Identify a time when you were involved in a conflict between employees
and the employer.
▪ How did you work to resolve their differences in a respectful, yet efficient
way?
▪ What skills did you use? How did you address each party's concerns and
come up with a mutually beneficial/agreeable solution?
▪ Identify an experience you can share with the interviewer that highlights
your ability to resolve discrepancies between employees and the employer
and improve the overall employee-employer relationship.
RECRUITING
Recruiting is among the top skills hiring managers are looking for in HR
candidates. It's also one of the most important functions of an HR
department. Attracting, hiring, training and retaining top talent is the
cornerstone of most successful corporations. The interviewer will be looking
to see if you communicate clearly, are easy to connect with, persuasive and
have the ability to negotiate--all traits of good recruiter.
HOW TO DEMONSTRATE
THIS SKILL
Have you ever interviewed or evaluated a job candidate?
Have you helped a previous employer find a new employee to fulfill a
specific function?
Identify a direct experience you've had assisting in the recruiting process or
experience that shows you have the skills of a good recruiter.
LABOR RELATIONS
▪ Good labor relations is one of the more important HR skills and abilities.
However, many job candidates either don't have experience with labor
relations or come to the interview unprepared to show they have this skill.
If you want to stand out from other candidates, be prepared to show the
interviewer that you have the ability to effectively manage labor relations.
HOW TO DEMONSTRATE
THIS SKILL
Do you have any past work experiences where you were required to manage
relations between the labor force and upper management?
Were you ever required to find a positive solution to a workplace conflict?
Have you assisting in resolving a disagreement between employees?
Share a direct example that demonstrates your ability to manage labor
relations, or share an experience that shows you have strong interpersonal
communication and conflict resolution skills.
