My inbox is usually full of the same AI-related newsletters and irrelevant cold calls. But now and then, I get a thought-provoking email. Today's was from Noel Andrews at Jobrack. Noel talked about recognizing A-players during the hiring process. This got me thinking: is there an agreed-upon definition of an A-player, or does this vary based on your industry or company? At Crossover , we've been leveraging AI to help identify A-players globally. Here are some consistent traits we look for: - Gives and receives feedback well - Expert in their subject area, but open to new approaches - Proactive and takes initiative - Clear, concise written communicator - Consistent hard worker - Adaptable and flexible - Enthusiastic about AI and excited to experiment Interestingly, our AI-driven recruitment tools have shown that these traits are relatively consistent across cultures. What about your company? How would you define an A-player? How do you identify them in your hiring process? Let's discuss in the comments! And if you're curious about implementing AI in your TA & HR processes, feel free to reach out. #AIinHR #GlobalRecruitment #SkillsBasedHiring #TalentAcquisition
