There is Never a Dull Moment in The Projects We Do – and That Changes The Way We Hire!
Feb 15, 2022
If companies want to take their business to the next level, they need to empower their field personnel with tools that can enable them to deliver better service to customers at the first-time-visit itself. How do they do that?
Businesses today have an uncompromising need to provide enriching experiences to their customers and build long-term relations with them. Therefore, they are informed and invested in their products and how they are created, and how well they are received in the markets.
For example, retail applications are constantly looking to seamlessly integrate online and in-store inventory, or increase conversion and reduce cart abandonment, or provide users tips and guide them to what they want. Essentially, it involves different ways to bring customer delight and profits.
Such demanding requirements by our clients directly impact the work environment at PopcornApps, making us focussed on high technology and extreme innovation. Our teams are conscious of customer needs for simplicity and creatively applied processes while building the products and applications, thus giving them the best options. The focus is to use innovation and cutting-edge technologies at every step of the build to give the applications the best user interactivity experience, ensuring ease of business and positive outcomes for the customer.
There is never a dull moment in the projects at PopcornApps. There could be a problem-solving all-nighter accompanied by brainstorming and pooling of ideas, or a brilliant idea just approved by the customer, which triggers last-minute deployment changes and the scramble to complete it to perfection. It’s a huge rush of creativity and high performance, which gives everyone the satisfaction of having contributed their best. To achieve all this we require the brightest and best skills available in the industry which matches our needs.
At PopcornApps we realise that the only way to acquire them is to change the way we hire! Hence, we have customized our hiring process to suit our needs and attract the right talent.
What is our hiring strategy and how do we reach out to this talent?
Talent which is high on innovation and technology is rare to come by. Our recruiting team focuses primarily on these skills during our hiring process. Not every person comes with knowledge of the specific technical skills required; we acknowledge that and have an additional focus on learning and adaptability. Only with a learning mindset can the capacity to work on cutting-edge technology be built. We look for prospective candidates who demonstrate a passion for technology and are interested in growing through learning.
Being open to learning is as important as innovation and creativity in our hiring strategy and is an important skill to achieve selection. We reach out to the interested candidates through multiple approaches. Our website clearly indicates the vacancies of positions with specific skill sets and experience required for these positions. In addition to this, we also scour the job markets with specialised headhunters. Good references from employees and well-wishers are also appreciated as they are more credible and verifiable. Hiring is a full-time business initiative process with us and we never lose an opportunity to meet the right talent
How does our interview process align with our strategy for hiring for innovation and learning?
To hire for special skills like innovation, creativity, learning, and growth an organisation has to have interview processes that are as creative and engaging as the work is. It is an accepted fact that the best skills in the industry always have multiple options. When a valued prospective candidate comes in for an interview it is known that they will be also looking and interviewing the organization they would be joining.
At PopcornApps our interviews are like our work, engaging and conducted by multi-level personnel from delivery and HR. For instance, fresh graduates who get through the initial level tests, are moved to the next level for the evaluation of eagerness and creativity with questioning and puzzles. Senior professionals may also be asked to make a presentation of case studies. Prospects with previous industry experience are interviewed for technology expertise and innovation. Delivery heads interview them looking for enterprise, curiosity, involvement, thinking differently, and passion for learning. All interactions are carefully documented for analysis. The inputs and details of all the various levels of interviews are saved in the dossier of the candidate. A decision is only taken after serious consideration and an all-around assessment by the panel of interviewers. The pointer that differentiates and tips a candidate for selection is the zeal to learn, a mind open to new technology, and curiosity about new experiences.
In addition to exceptional skills and creativity, we look for team players and team leaders who counter and challenge uncertainty and are catalysts for moving teams ahead.
To put it simply, we put a lot of effort and energy into our recruiting efforts. To hire outstanding individuals, we need to make outstanding efforts- just like coaches make while recruiting their teams. We have seen the benefits of our efforts at the organisational level where teams work together to creatively solve problems with enthusiasm and eagerness.
If you want to be part of an organisation that celebrates your efforts and encourages your creativity and lateral thinking, explore the option of joining PopcornApps. Reach out to us through our website and contact us for a better career option today!
