Know thy employees…


Hello everyone,

How’s life? I am aware; you all must be busy preparing for the upcoming festival and New Year celebration. But I know you will surely take out some time to read this. I remember once my friend told me, that the company where he applied had asked for his handwriting sample. My friend seemed irritated; he was like, “Who asks for handwriting when everything is online?” He had applied for a job abroad. But this is exactly what International Companies do. One has to understand, a bad hire can be detrimental for the particular post, can incur high monetary cost and can also have negative impact on the company’s growth. Thus, Recruiters, HR Department and Managers are finding different ways to analyse a candidate.

Resumes, Cover letters and Interviews are important tools in assessing if the person is right for the post, but it does not reveal the personality of the candidate and here graphology plays a significant role. I remember giving a written test when I had applied for my first job. It works in two ways, knowing the candidates technical knowledge and analyzing his/ her handwriting. If a candidate has applied for a sales job and his/ her handwriting seems disconnected, do you think he will be able to increase sales? I am sure you will agree that at times some candidates look great in an interview, but they seem totally different when they come on board.

Imagine a jewelry showroom or a bank hiring an employee; let’s think of parents of toddlers hiring nannies for their children. How can they find out that the hired person is trustworthy? Can’t a single step of handwriting analysis along with other processes of selection save a lot of agony in future? In fact along with bigger companies, the SMEs should include this practice in their recruiting system. It will save them a lot of time, money and energy in getting the right candidate.

A lot of people come to me asking if only signature analysis of the candidate would help. My answer is NO. To understand a person fully, signature as well as handwriting analysis is important. So friends, even if you have a small staff, you can get positive output from them by analyzing and if needed changing the handwriting traits in them.

Sayonara till my next blog.
