6 Ways to Position Yourself as a Transformational Hire

The buffet of options for hiring managers and candidates makes identifying the ideal opportunity feel nearly impossible.

For hiring managers, you’re looking for a transformational hire that gives you a competitive advantage. Self-motivated talent that is a cultural fit, is at the top of the list of desires, but how do you distinguish that during the interview process?

Candidates are in an equally unfavorable position. Your credentials speak for themselves, but how do you communicate your intangible qualities?

Dice recently turned to Damien Howard, CEO and Founder of Grant Wagner, along with the CEO of Reach Personal Branding and CEO of Tuckpoint Advisory to discuss six ways for candidates to position themselves as transformational hires.

While the focus is on how a candidate can distinguish themselves, Howard adds, “We coach our hiring manager partners on understanding the person. They know the questions to ask that will show the candidate’s acumen. The reason clients choose Grant Wagner is because we give them the secret sauce to choosing a technical star that has the immeasurable qualities to be a superstar for their organization.”

In this Dice article, Howard and his peers share six ways for a candidate to position themselves as a transformational hire. No matter what side of the interview process you’re on, Howard hopes to educate the market.

“Bringing passionate people to the table is what we do. Helping them create a shared vision before Day 1 of their partnership is what we do best. We help them speak a common language so success is a high probability,” Howard shares.
