A recent study provides perhaps the perfect evidence that soft skills metric can predict an employee’s prospects of getting selected in an interview. The research was nothing if not robust. A key finding of the study suggested that top employers are looking for the so called soft skills in the aspirants as the key deterrent for prospective job compatibility. Generally speaking, the skills include team spirit, managerial skills, spoken and written communication, adaptability and varied personality verticals. Academic Excellency has taken back seat as recruiters demand candidates who are good at interpersonal disciplines and not mere bookworms.
“What the employers want is a well-rounded student,” says Jean Manning-Clark, director of the Colorado School of Mines’ career center. Carrying forward his point, he further added that the candidates grabbing 10 to 12 offers are more often good at soft skills and consequently, highly employable. To accomplish the purpose, companies nowadays are resorting to different strategies of contest arrangement, interactive sessions, problem solving presentations etc. for talent assessment.
