This time, I’m going to direct this post to recruiters, managers, or colleagues to identify those traits that you have the “ideal” consultant in your team.
To the consultants, take note of these characteristics to try to give your best version.
There go the 7 clear signs that he or she is THE consultant.
#Ambition
He has ambition. He is not someone who comes to do his tasks, but his involvement and commitment is fully to the project and the company.
#Manners
You find him SEXY for his manners. He possesses good manners, the desire to work and to do a good job. He is involved with what he produces and with the details. It is sexy on the inside and also on the outside.
#Taking care of himself
He takes care of himself. He’s not only dedicated 100% to the job. He takes care of himself on a personal level in order to perform better. In addition,he wants to continue training; he has hobbies and activities beyond work. He has a life. Moreover, those activities doesn’t have a negative impact in his work. That help him to give his best version.
#Multitask
You spend time investing in him, and you know it is not wasted time. You assign him any task as long as he can spend more time with you and can be on the team. Over time, it will acquire more value in your team and you will appreciate it more. At one point, you count on HIM for any nonsense task.
#Intellectual
You like to spend time talking to HIM. He is intellectual. You can talk about anything from work and even things outside of work. He is the colleagues with whom you would go to grab a beer.
#Trust
You trust Him. You know that whatever task you give him; he will be able to perform it. And this trust is mutual because he also trusts you to take care of him and help him when he needs you.
#Future
You project yourself into the future with him. Whether for a short or long project, you imagine or want to have it in the future and for future projects. To sum up, you want to hire him at the end of the project.
If you find THE consultant, don’t let him escape. Take the opportunity to spend time with him and take care of him while the project lasts. You also know that every consultant comes to an end. So be prepared to let him go in case he doesn’t accept an offer.
