Monumental Management, Inc.’s Director Offers Advice on Hiring Practices

Krenda and the management team at Monumental Management, Inc. value the contributions new grads offer. “College graduates bring a tremendous amount of energy to the team,” she said. “They learn at a rapid pace, and they are willing to do what it takes to win.” As a result, the executives have implemented a strategy to attract these ambitious individuals.

“Cultural fit is imperative,” said the director. “The applicant needs to feel comfortable working in the company and with our people.” During the interview process, team members make a concerted effort to get to know the candidates. “Sitting in a conference room answering questions tells us almost nothing about you,” she added. “We want you to interact with our team on a more social basis so we can see how well you mesh with everyone.”

“Another thing we do is check blind references,” said Krenda. “Most candidates will give you a list of people who will provide glowing reviews. While that is helpful, we want to hear from individuals who are not on the list.” The interview team uses social media and professional networks to touch base with peers and former instructors. “This information helps us understand how you will perform within our environment,” she added.

The Monumental Management, Inc. executive team also realizes that an effective hiring strategy includes a great closing. “During the hiring process, the applicant is looking to sell to us,” said Krenda. “However, we need to showcase our benefits too. We strive to partner with our new hires, so they will want to be part of our winning team.”
