Hyde Park Pro Attributes: IDEAL CANDIDATES
ARE 'OTHERS ORIENTED'
Hyde Park Pros are so secure with themselves and their situations that they are able to enjoy the fulfillment and satisfaction that comes from truly serving the needs of others
ARE NET ENERGY GIVERS (Rather Than Net Energy Takers)
There are people you communicate with where your energy is sapped by the experience. After engaging with a Hyde Park Pro, however, you have more energy and feel better about yourself
AVOID LIFE'S DRAMAS BY BEING CONSCIENTIOUS & IN CONTROL OF THEIR THOUGHTS
Hyde Park Pros know that their thoughts, good or bad, can greatly effect the quality of their relationships, work results, and lives. For this reason, they are vigilant in being aware, and in control, of their thoughts
ARE CONCISE & EFFECTIVE IN THEIR COMMUNICATIONS
Hyde Park Pros don’t need to ‘prove their brilliance’ by over talking. They are confident and skilled enough in communications to speak concisely and put a premium on understanding what others are sharing.
USE THEIR INTELLIGENCE & EXPERIENCE TO SOLVE COMPLEX PROBLEMS
Hyde Park Pros are ‘quick on their feet,’ when it come to solving problems for their clients and employers. They don’t use their intelligence, knowledge, and experience to show off or to promote themselves. Accolades come naturally because of their natural curiosity and superior ability to solve complex problems quickly and effectively
CONTINUALLY WORKING ON THEMSELVES AND ON THEIR CRAFT
Hyde Park Pros have an insatiable desire to continually improve, and they do the work needed to make continual improvements in themselves and their offerings
Hyde Park Pro Attributes: IDEAL CLIENTS
PUTS AN EMPHASIS ON EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE (EX)
Hyde Park Pros’ client companies have come to understand that their Employee Experience (EX) has to be more of their firm’s focus than Customer Experience (CX). A firm’s client experience is a direct result of their firm’s employees experience (not the other way around).
REALIZE THAT WE ARE NOW IN THE 'AGE OF THE EMPLOYEE'
Gone are the days of the ‘top down’ leadership style. Great organizations are those that conscientiously develop an environment that helps their employees CHOOSE to be deeply engaged in the work they do for their employer, their clients, and themselves.
PROPERLY MANAGE CANDIDATES' AND EMPLOYEES' EXPECTATIONS
One of the major reasons for poor employee engagement and employee retention is firm’s (and manager’s) inability to identify what their candidates’ and employees’ expectations are… and then doing everything it takes to meet those expectations.
INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTORS ARE PROMOTED TO MANAGERS BECAUSE OF THEIR DESIRE AND ABILITY TO 'HELP OTHERS SUCCEED'
Most managers are promoted to management because they were great individual contributors. Wrong! Managers won’t be great managers unless they have a desire to, and are good at, helping their people succeed and have great Employee Experiences (EX).
REALIZE THAT EXCELLENT EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE ONLY HAPPENS WITH OPEN AND CONTINUAL COMMUNICATIONS
Since each employee’s Employee Experience (EX) will be different depending on their specific expectations, perceptions, life challenges and unique situations – managers and supervisors have to be great at open and continual communications with their team members.
IMPROVE EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE BY FOCUSING ON ... M A G I C *
Employee experience is greatly improved when executive and supervisors focus on helping their employees improve on: M: Meaning; A: Autonomy; G: Growth; I: Impact; and C: Connection. (Borrowed from the book, MAGIC, by Tracy Maylett, Ed.D. and Paul Warner, Ph.D.)
DIFFERENTIATION
AFFORDABLE OPTIONS
Our placement fees are determined on the level of search and recruitment services our client choose:
10%: Opportunistic Hires: When we do not take on an official search assignment, but our clients allow us to present great candidates to them when they surface
20%: Official Search Assignments: When we take on an official search assignment for an open position, and we have sourced the candidate without the assistance of one of our seearch and recruitment partners, or
25%: Teaming with Other Recruiters: When our clients allow us to broaden our swath of potential candidates by allowing us to collaborate with other WM & FO recruiters in our network
COLLABORATION
Besides having over 13 years of well developed relationships in the wealth management and family office industries, we also have strategic alliances with many other recruiters in our industry.
This dramatically increases, 1. The swath of potential candidate to consider for a particular candidate search, 2. The quality of candidate and likelihood of a perfect match, and the speed to which a quality candidate is identified, recruited, and hired.
OLD SCHOOL RECRUITING
Many recruiters these days have resigned themselves to sourcing candidates, who are actively seeking new employ, through the use of various job boards.
This is not to say that there aren’t stellar candidates among the ranks who are actively looking for new opportunities. However, our default is using the old-school approach of actually searching for, and directly recruiting, wealth management and family office professionals who are actively engaged in their current employ.
NO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Recruiters are notorious for taking job orders from clients (the party that pays the placement fee, by the way) and then use that information to coach candidates on what to say and do in their interviews to win the job. We believe this practice is a conflict of interest. We do participate in career consulting with candidates we work with, but do not use the information our clients’ share with us to be used against them.
We are also committed to keep the identity of both our clients and candidates confidential for as long as humanly possible. We divulge identities only when a very good fit appears obvious, and we have received permission ‘to officially make an introduction’ from both parties.
COACHING & CONSULTING
Professionals have more successful and fulfilling careers when their employers place a significant emphasis on their firm’s employee experience. We coach wealth management and family office professionals identify their unique career needs and match them with firms that are best suited to provide for their unique needs.
Employers are able to hire and retain candidates with Hyde Park Pros Attributes when they learn, put an emphasis on, and continually provide an excellent employee experience.
We provide these complimentary coaching and consulting services to professionals who we identify are Hyde Park Pros.
SHARED RISK
Even when hiring teams are well-trained and have a solid hiring process in place there will be times, for whatever reason, when a hire was deemed a poor hire. Many recruiting firms offer a 30-90 day replacement guarantee. However, we believe that candidates are still in the ‘honeymoon stage’ during the first three months of their employment. That’s why we have extended our guarantee to six months – taking on the risk of a bad hire right alongside our clients.
