The Brilliance of Simplicity in Recruitment

It was Confucius who said that “life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.”

Achieving simplicity in recruitment matters and can play a part in helping leaders and teams cut through the complexity that gets in the way of delivering on strategy, greater value, and a more fulfilling work experience. Humans need boundaries as much as they need sleep. Humans need meaning and connection. They need these things—as working people or consumers of business products or leaders of businesses themselves—as much as they need convenience, speed, or scale.

This is why Millennials are driving the change toward more purpose-driven corporations. They want two simple things: the mobility offered by technology and values they can relate to. And it is why the more we understand the work of psychologists and neuroscientists, the more clearly we understand that we simply cannot go on overloading people with systems and structures that are complex and anti-human.

In this session of Top Echelon Expert Recruiter Coaching Series, Bob Marshall of TBMG International discusses how people who adopt The Simplicity Principle live by six fundamentals:

1. They have boundaries.
2. They know how to reset and rest, as well as how to be “always on.”
3. They treat their schedules like their bodies.
4. They recognize and accept the human scale, the human dimension, and the neuroscientific research about human cognitive load and how it affects everyone.
5. They apply action.
6. They regard their organizations as superorganisms.

So don’t make life—and recruiting—more complicated than it already is.
