Highly Qualified vs. Pre-Qualified
What is the difference between pre-qualified vs. highly-qualified candidates?
This subtle difference is the key to hiring/retaining your next long-term teammate.
A pre-qualified candidate brings a resume bulleted with the relevant skills, tenure, and experience you're looking for. A highly-qualified candidate proves their talent BEFORE they walk through your door using behavior-based questions or detail skills tests.
A pre-qualified candidate writes a well-composed, general cover letter that, realistically, could function with any company name plugged in. A highly-qualified person outlines their passion for the vision you've crafted and why they want to work with YOU specifically.
A pre-qualified candidate is comfortable with the drive time, pay, and benefits offered for the role. A highly qualified candidate goes the XTRA MILE to fit the culture and is curious about the current state/future plans of the business.
Based on this outline, ask yourself, "Is my hiring process attracting pre-qualified or highly-qualified candidates? Which scenario reveals the biggest gap in our pre-qualifying phase?"
