A Deep Dive into OBP’s Recruitment Process
Recruitment Process at OBP
Cheska asked the Talent Acquisition Manager to walk through the process of hiring new talent. The Talent Acquisition Manager said, "At OBP, we have an extensive and structured recruitment process. It starts with the initial screening of resumes and cover letters. We're looking for candidates who have relevant experience and skills that match the job requirements."
"Next, we conduct a phone screen to assess their communication skills and passion for the job and determine if they would be a good fit for our company culture. If they pass this stage, we then invite them to an in-person or virtual interview where they meet with members of the team, including their potential manager and peers. During the interview, we ask behavioral-based questions that allow us to assess their skills and how they might fit into the team."
She added, "We conduct reference checks and use a combination of objective and subjective assessments to evaluate the candidate's skills, experience, and overall fit with the team. Our goal is to make sure we hire the best talent possible who are not only qualified for the job but also aligned with our company culture."
When Cheska asked what makes OBP's recruitment process unique, The Talent Acquisition Manager said, "One thing that sets us apart is our emphasis on culture fit. We believe that hiring for culture fit is just as important as hiring for technical skills. We want to make sure that the people we hire share our values and are passionate about the work we do."
Diverse Workforce
The Talent Acquisition Manager stated, "At OBP, we recognize the importance of diversity and inclusion. We actively seek out candidates from diverse backgrounds and work to remove any biases that may exist in our recruitment process. We also have a diversity and inclusion committee that helps us identify areas where we can improve and make our hiring process more equitable."
Challenges in Attracting Top Talents
The Talent Acquisition Manager explained, "There are several challenges that OBP faces in attracting and hiring top talents in the industry. The first challenge is that most of the roles we’re looking for need specialized skills and experience, and there are not many experienced professionals in the field. This means that there is a limited pool of candidates to choose from, and the competition for these candidates is intense."
She continued, "The second challenge is that the industry is constantly evolving, and new technologies and standards are being developed all the time. This means that professionals in the industry need to be adaptable and able to learn quickly to stay on top of the latest developments. This can be a challenge for some candidates who may not have experience in such a fast-paced and ever-changing environment."
She added, "The third challenge is that OBP needs to compete with other industries to attract top talents. For example, the technology industry is booming, and many professionals are attracted to the high salaries and perks that are offered by tech companies. This means that OBP needs to offer competitive salaries and benefits packages to attract and retain top talents."
Overcoming the Challenges
"There are several things that OBP does to overcome these challenges. Firstly, OBP invests in training and development programs to help professionals stay on top of the latest developments in the industry. This can help to attract professionals who are eager to learn and grow in their careers," the Talent Acquisition Manager stated.
She added, "Secondly, OBP offers competitive salaries and benefits packages to attract and retain top talents. This includes competitive compensation packages, company incentive programs, and other perks such as health benefits, travel opportunities (local and international destinations), One-on-One Personal Development, and Employee engagement activities."
She continued, "OBP partners with universities and colleges to identify and recruit talented graduates who are interested in pursuing a career in OBP. This helps us build a pipeline of talented professionals who can be trained and developed over time."
