Recruiting services in Kyiv

DOPOMOGA Ukraine periodically conducts a survey of selected candidates that became employees of our clients. It has helped us to find out what captivates and keeps Kyiv specialists in one company for a long time. These are professional growth and development.

A candidate can imagine his/her career plan just in a theory. Generally, candidates see their careers narrowly and limit their freedom to develop and flexibly respond to changes.

We recommend you to create a realistic career plan with your new employee. He/She will be able to use it as a reference point and develop as a professional not limiting him/herself.

In fact, a career plan is a reflection on who, in terms of profession, the employee wants to be in a few years. Together you shape the path he/she needs to go through in order to achieve desired personal results, at the same time, serving a company’s goals.

This talk enables the new employee to take the helm of own life path and professional development. Your company will be seen as a pillar for it.

You need to base the career plan on abilities and desires of your new fellow worker. It is important to listen to his/her preferences rather than rely on the expectations of friends, family or yours. You can help the employee to define own desires by asking those questions:

• What professional goals are important to you?
• Why are they important to you?
• Are these goals realistic?
• How can you achieve these goals?
• What stages can you go through to achieve this (in a year, three, five or ten years)?
• What needs to be changed for this?
• Do you have a plan “B”?
• What kind of work environment do you need for this?
• What do you need in your job to be happy and satisfied?
• When are you particularly productive?
• What are your weaknesses?
• What are your strengths?
• What skills do you need to develop?
• What can you improve in your work to get closer to your goal?

Notice how self-critical answers are. Help the employee to respond from the inner self and be objective.
Such career plan is the first stage of professional growth. It kicks the employee, but does not solve all problems. Dedication and commitment provides success in any chosen field. Also discuss this together.
