So many of the issues we encounter in relationships are due to false assumptions!
Often it is the tone that we add to the email someone has sent or the day that we’re having that projects how we interpret the txt that is driving us crazy! When someone asks if you’ve had your hair cut, they could simply be taking an interest but if you aren’t sure about your new style, you could take that remark the wrong way.
That is why face to face is always better than email or even phone. To understand context, body language, tone and perspective.
You can put context to the assumption that you are making about someone and even ask what they meant when they said something.
We assume so much about people based on our own life experience, prejudice and the lens through which we view the world.
At K.A.G. we know that in the recruitment process we must never assume anything;
- We don’t assume that the candidate has arrived at site for an interview without checking
- We don’t assume the CV is telling us everything about a candidate
- We don’t assume hiring managers know how to interview without bias
- We don’t assume that there aren’t other candidates in the process that aren’t ours
- We don’t assume that the candidate doesn’t have other interviews or offers
- We don’t assume the candidate has turned up for their first day
What assumptions are you making about your recruitment? What assumptions are you making about fellow colleagues? What assumptions are you making about recruitment agencies?!
