As experts in Nethunting, at Crearte Consulting we specialise in being the bridge between companies and potential candidates. Our job is to find the ideal candidate for each position. To do this, we start from certain premises, with our method that helps us to provide a fully effective service. To begin with, we take into account some key points such as the dedication and philosophy of the company, the characteristics of the position to be filled and the duties

Qualities that companies look for in any candidate

As professionals in the search for suitable candidates, we are very clear that each position to be filled in a company requires that the person who fills it has particular knowledge, experience and qualities.

We look for a person who is the perfect fit for the position offered. However, several qualities are common and highly valued in all types of candidates.

These are also usually a criterion when choosing one candidate over another and, beyond the CV, they are usually appreciated in personal interviews and direct contact. Among others we can highlight:

Attitude and motivation

A positive attitude and strong motivation are essential for success in any job. A candidate who is enthusiastic about the job and has a proactive attitude is more likely to perform well.

Commitment

Most companies appreciate it when their employees are committed to the goals and needs of the company. A committed person will generally strive to do his or her best.

Communication

The ability to communicate clearly and effectively is essential in any job. A candidate who can express him/herself coherently and persuasively will be more successful in his/her position, as he/she will be better understood by superiors, colleagues and clients.

Teamwork

Many jobs require the ability to work in a team and collaborate with others. A candidate who can work effectively in a team will be a valuable addition to any company.

Other qualities to value in any candidate

• Adaptability: the ability to adapt to change and new situations is essential in today’s world of work. A candidate who can quickly familiarise themselves with new situations and responsibilities will be more successful in their position.
• Problem-solving: the ability to solve problems effectively is essential in any job. A candidate who can analyse problems and find creative solutions will be a considerable asset to any company. In this respect, the ability to work under pressure, as there are often deadlines to meet or unforeseen events to deal with, can also be seen as a very positive asset.
• Positive attitude and proactivity: these two qualities often go hand in hand. Positive people not only create a better working environment, but they are also more entrepreneurial and more likely to come up with good ideas.
• Leadership: Although not all jobs require leadership, the ability to lead and motivate others is a valuable quality. An effective leader can guide and motivate his or her team to achieve common goals.
• Empathy and emotional intelligence: putting yourself in someone else’s shoes helps you understand them better. Together with emotional intelligence, empathy is a perfect tool to create a pleasant and positive working environment in which the team feels at ease and stimulated.
