Hard skills & Soft skills

It should be clear that a combination of hard skills and soft skills are what employers are looking for. They want a candidate to have expertise in a certain hard skill required by the position, but if that person is unable to work well with others, then no matter how talented they are, there are going to be problems.

  • There are no good or bad candidates; there are those who are or are not suitable for a particular position.

     

    So says Nedchanok, a Recruitment consultant at FP Recruitment & Executive Search. We talked with many of our clients and found out why the future lies in strong soft skills how to select a candidate who is exactly approved by the customer.


  • A little psychology can be helpful when you have to endure exhausting people in the workplace. Every job has types that you might not always be able to handle. Energy suckers, maladies, gossipers, and boasters consume resources and overload nerves and coping.


  • คำถามนี้เป็นคำถามยอดนิยมและหนึ่งในคำถามที่ถูกถามบ่อยที่สุดในการสัมภาษณ์งาน แต่ผู้สมัครงานก็ไม่ค่อยเตรียมตัวหรือตั้งใจจะตอบคำถามนี้ซักเท่าไหร่ เพราะมัวแต่คิดว่าคำถามนี้เป็นคำถามที่ผู้สัมภาษณ์ถามขึ้นเพื่อให้เราไม่เกร็ง หรือเป็นแค่ ice breaker เท่านั่นเอง ทั้งๆที่คำถามนี้เปิดโอกาสให้ผู้สมัครงานโฆษณาจุดแข็งและความสำเร็จของตัวเองได้เต็มที่


  • If the applicant is not sufficiently involved, you are not alone with him. A person considers other offers from employers, and you are not the first on the list. Even if in the end he accepts your offer, his motivation and performance will not be up to par. Let's see how a recruiter knows this is not the best deal.


  • An average hiring process takes 39 days, while the best candidates are out of the job market in just ten days. The recruitment process is getting longer, as several vacancies require highly qualified staff, and these positions usually require a longer and more in-depth screening process.


Hard skills & Soft skills

Hard skills are teachable abilities or skill sets that are easy to quantify. Typically, you'll learn hard skills in the classroom, through books or other training materials, or on the job. 

 

Examples of hard skills include:

  • Proficiency in a foreign language

  • A degree or certificate

  • Typing speed

  • Machine operation

  • Computer programming

 

Soft skills, on the other hand, are subjective skills that are much harder to quantify. Also known as "people skills" or "interpersonal skills," soft skills relate to the way you relate to and interact with other people. 

 

Examples of soft skills include:

  • Communication

  • Flexibility

  • Leadership

  • Motivation

  • Patience

  • Persuasion

  • Problem Solving Abilities

  • Teamwork

  • Time Management

  • Work Ethic
