Harpoon

Super excited to launch our new website 🤩 Not just because it looks great (we think so), but because for a long time, people have thought that Harpoon only focused on recruitment. We all know ‘recruitment’ is just one piece of the puzzle. Building great teams and organisations requires a much more holistic approach. At Harpoon, we're changing how organisations discover and nurture exceptional talent. It’s about knowing who are going to be the leaders of tomorrow. And we believe there are three core ways to achieve this that all go hand-in-hand: 1. Executive Search: ↳ We go beyond resumes, curating a community of high-potential candidates who can truly make an impact, long-term. 2. Talent Management & Development: ↳ Our approach assesses leaders' core beliefs, enabling targeted development programs for future-oriented skills. 3. Organisational Development: ↳ We partner with you to tackle root causes, applying strategic thinking to transform your talent management challenges. We’re building something special. We can’t wait to share a fresh take on recruitment.

Why are young adults losing their autonomy❓ What are the causes of this lack of initiative and independence in the face of constant parental intervention❓ Eduardo Mendes, Managing Partner of Harpoon, invited by Expresso, shared his vision on the subject, proposing ideas for tackling the problem in a joint collaboration between various institutions.

Change is always complicated to manage, but when a leader stops making an impact on their team, it's time to embark on a new project.

The recruitment market is full of hype and generic information that doesn't always correspond to the truth. Today we're going to debunk 5️⃣ of these myths. 👀 #harpoon #humanresources #talentmanagement

Things you should never do at a job interview ⬇ 👉 Bad-mouthing the previous company. Rightly or wrongly, this will generate mistrust in the new employer; 👉 Overly informal communication. While the interview shouldn't be overly formal, it's important to strike a balance. You should adapt your communication style to the interviewer, ensuring that it is respectful and appropriate. Remember, familiarity should not lead to complacency; 👉 Bring up the salary issue at the wrong time. Both sides know it's a fundamental topic, so there's no point in bringing it up at the outset or showing excessive concern about it. There is a right time for this; 👉 Failure to prepare for the interview. It's important to prepare thoroughly. The interview is a moment where you have limited time to convey who you are and whether you're a good fit for the role. Being honest and transparent about your skills and experience will allow both you and the interviewer to assess whether the role is a good fit. Don't exaggerate or undersell yourself, instead, come prepared with concrete examples of your skills; 👉 Maintain poor visual and vocal communication. Always looking people in the eye, maintaining good body posture and projecting your voice without fear are ways of showing respect for the interviewer and confidence in the message you want to convey. #harpoon #humanresources #talentmanagement
