Countless candidates, hiring managers, and staffing professionals, agree the C3 + E3 = the Perfect Hire formula is ‘spot on’ in reflecting how companies decide who to hire and how candidates should decide whether or not to accept.
Simply put, nearly all candidates look for 3 variables in a job search: Compensation, Commute (or location), and corporate Culture. Meanwhile, employers seek candidates with certain levels of Education, Experience, and Enthusiasm.
For candidates, compensation and commute are issues of great concern. However, regardless of the amount a company will pay for services, or how short the commute, if an organization’s culture isn’t the right fit, there is a strong possibility that you’ll be starting this process all over again; and soon.
Transitioning warfighters, long accustomed to the ubiquitous nature of the military culture, often overlook this significant factor when conducting a job search. Those that do not interview with an eye toward culture, do so blindly ignoring that which motivated them during their military career ~ what an organization does and how they do it. In the end, corporate culture is the only variable likely to affect your success or failure at any given organization. Therefore, candidates should focus on finding opportunities with organizations that closely parallel their own values.
