How to Write a Job Description for a Conductor Profile
June 25, 2024
This is often the most misunderstood of all the profiles because they are not as outgoing and people focused as some other profiles but the value they add is critical to a business.
As part of my “How to attract top talent with precision & clarity” series, we move on to the COACH profile.
We use a platform called Contribution Compass to profile candidates. When we take the time to understand the profile of the person we want to recruit, we can be smart using the right language to attract that candidate, saving time filtering in the right people and filtering out the wrong people.

Balance the risk
Fears not being in control. Overly attached to data & process. Data rules over everything, including people. Not people focused. Don’t deal with uncertainty. Fast changing environments don’t suit them. Can ignore the human condition in favour of optimal functionality. Over focused on “how” questions, which can crush creativity in a team. Prioritise the known over the unknown. Think human emotion is a sign of weakness
