Sweden’s number one recruiter for communication, PR & marketing
This PM contains a summary from the network event „Communication, PR & marketing‟, held at
Stockholm Academic Forum 25 May 2016. The event was one part of a series of events organized within
the framework of Stockholm Academic Network. Responsible for the summary is the Staf team member
Jerry Lindblom.
The event was visited by two guest speakers, Chief Business Development Officer Karin Netzell and
Candidate Relations Manager Sara Abrahamsson from the recruitment company Hammer & Hanborg.
They had organized a somewhat interactive afternoon where we both listened to their insights from
recruitment to the communication, PR and marketing industry, and became involved by using a simple
Mentimeter tool1.
The main areas covered
- What organisations of tomorrow
- Demands in terms of skills and talent
- Why this is so rapidly changing
- How to create your next big thing
Three eras of automation
Karin & Sara started off with a historical retrospect:
19th century: Machines take away the dirty and dangerous jobs
20th century: Machines take away the dull
21st century: Machines take away decisions
We have seen the first two passing already and the third on its way. One way to observe this is that
machines are now used to sort among plausible candidates. This, in turns, leads to the CV being obsolete
and soon belonging in a museum.
We can also see changes in organisation moving from traditional and hierarchical organisational structures
towards other kinds of structures, such as network organisation, „amoeba‟ organisation or chaos
organisation. With the shift from towards machines for many tasks, and the changes in organisational
structure, also the resources required for production changes – both for machines and for each individual.
How to show who you are without the traditional CV
One way to handle recruitment when the competences asked for is not necessarily shown in CVs is by
assessments. Hammer & Hanborg has developed one of their own, set up to show what type of profile
you are. It divides competences into five stereotypic profiles, and you find out to what extent you
1 www.govote.at
respond to each profile‟s description: if you are the “Visionary”, the “Change maker”, the “Co-Creator”,
the “Performer”, or the “Enabler”. You can read more about the different profiles in the attached
presentation in the end of this summary.
According to Karin and Sara, motivation, cognitive ability, culture, and values are now far more important
than your actual skills, since the skills you are likely to be able to learn, while for example a change of
values are harder to accomplish.
Know your why!
What is most important for you? Which are your values? What would you like to do on a daily basis? To
be able to find your future employer one needs to ask oneself these kinds of questions. By doing so you
will also be able to easier find your dream job, and maybe most importantly, be able form a strategy for
how to catch it.
The traditional way to show who you are is to list your history in a CV, but what you really need to do is
to explain in what way your history can contribute to your wanted new employer‟s future. This is why the
cover letter is so important. It is all about adding value, and this is why you need to rewrite the cover
letter for each position you are applying for.
Good luck with your job search!
