Finding the Right People with the Right Knowledge at the Right Time
Knowledge Management has only recently become an imperative for many organizations. Finding the right talent to help build your knowledge management practice is critical. The challenge is who to turn to for help? Very few traditional recruiters and recruiting firms understand the required competencies, attributes and characteristics for knowledge management roles and even fewer know where to target their search for high caliber candidates or how to conduct an effective interview of potential candidates.
We performed a "soft launch" of CareerSight© a little over a year ago based on the idea that there was a need for a cost effective, value add service for our members, knowledge management professionals seeking employment opportunities, and for organizations looking to recruit for knowledge management roles...We were right!
What We Learned
- CareerSight© was used mostly by not for profits and industry associations. This tells us that organizations that have smaller or more constrained operating budgets, appreciate a less expensive alternative to hiring recruiters.
- Users see the value of targeting their search towards a knowledge management focused, membership-based organization with extensive field experience along with experience training KM professionals for positions in a wide range of organizations, sectors and industries.
We were very pleased with the results of the proof of concept and have decided to incorporate and expand CareerSight© into a core service at the Institute.
Employers
- Are you looking to fill a knowledge management role within your organization?
- Are you looking for help developing the position profile and the job description?
- Do you need an assessment instrument or interview guide to ensure you can attract and hire the best candidate?
- Do you need an experienced KM professional to assist with the candidate selection process?
- Do you need to target your job posting to a community of KM experts rather than individuals with little or no KM experience?
Recent Grads and Experienced KM Professionals
- Are you looking for new career opportunity in the KM field?
- Are you tired of looking for KM positions through internet job boards or using headhunters that have little or no experience KM?
If you’ve answered YES to any of these questions, we can help.
We have trained more KM professionals from private corporations, not for profits, and public sector organizations than any other firm in Canada. We can help ensure you find the right person to fill the KM role within your organization.
