Metairie, Louisana, May 6, 2015 (Newswire.com) - “It’s time once again to add to our ever-growing team,” said Chad, the director of operations at Cornerstone Events. “Our innovative approach to marketing garners a lot of attention – business leaders are well aware of its impact. As a result, demand for our services is greater than ever. We have to expand our team to keep up – not that I’m complaining!”

According to Chad, Cornerstone Events offers plenty of great opportunities for ambitious professionals in the sales and marketing field. Company benefits include an empowering and uplifting office culture, a cutting-edge training and coaching regimen, plenty of travel, and promotions based on individual merit.

"Without a doubt, there are a lot of opportunities out there for knowledgeable and talented professionals,"

“I think it’s important to note that when we hire people, we do so with the intention of helping them progress down their career paths,” Chad stated. “It’s not just about getting a job; it’s about embracing a lasting professional experience. I urge anyone interested in joining our team to visit our website to learn more.”

The Cornerstone Events Approach to Retaining High-Performing Team Members

“Without a doubt, there are a lot of opportunities out there for knowledgeable and talented professionals,” Chad continued. “That’s why I treat hiring as a process in which the candidate and I are on equal footing. I need the people I hire just as much as they need me. I’m not doing anyone any favors – these are partnerships.”

Chad indicated that a lot of effort goes into retention, and it begins during the recruiting stage. Right away, he and his colleagues at Cornerstone Events determine whether potential candidates will fit into the company’s culture. “I assess for cultural fit first by staying open-minded,” he explained. “I don’t limit the search to any particular area. We receive applicants through the career page on our website, as well as job boards, mobile channels, and other outlets.”

Next, it’s essential to hire based on candidates’ attitudes – not aptitude. Industry experience and knowledge are useful, but they can be acquired during Cornerstone Events training program. Personality, according to Chad, is not something that is so simply learned.

“One of the ways we evaluate personality and its alignment with our brand is to meet with candidates in different contexts,” Chad concluded. “We speak on the phone, communicate through email, meet for lunch, and hold formal interviews. It gives us a holistic look at potential team members. Then, the moment we’ve found the right person for the job, we make the hire right away. We don’t want to lose the opportunity to onboard someone who we are confident will be with us for the long haul!”
