The Riderflex Podcast: Inspiring & Hiring Steve Urban

In this segment, Steve Urban emphasizes the pivotal role of emotional connections in the interview process, particularly when candidates possess similar qualifications. He argues that beyond technical skills and experience, likability can significantly influence hiring decisions. To enhance one's likability, Steve suggests researching interviewers beforehand using social media platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram to uncover personal interests such as hobbies or shared geographical ties. By identifying and discussing these commonalities, candidates can forge an emotional connection that may set them apart in a tightly competitive field. Steve concludes by highlighting that such connections could be decisive in securing a position when competing against similarly qualified candidates.

In this episode of the Riderflex podcast, Steve Urban passionately discusses the need for hiring managers and employers to look beyond mere qualifications on resumes when making hiring decisions. He encourages them to consider a candidate's potential, character, and attributes that indicate readiness for higher responsibilities, drawing from personal experiences where he, and many others, were promoted to positions for which they were not originally qualified on paper. Steve emphasizes the importance of giving opportunities based on potential and character traits, rather than strictly adhering to job specifications. He advocates for trusting the judgment of recruitment firms that have vetted candidates thoroughly, highlighting the importance of personal growth and opportunity in career advancement.
