What do employers look for in new recruits?
We’ve asked some of our leading People of Today what qualities they look for in new recruits and the people with whom they work. While at least one specified ‘an ability to hold their drink’, many of the other responses are revealing – and, at times, surprising. Here are the top 10 most common:
- A positive attitude
- Passion
- A strong work ethic
- Loyalty and integrity
- Good manners
- A sense of humour
- Patience and perseverance
- Confidence
- Initiative
- Common sense
