Hidden potential in a skills crunch
Besides qualifications, we are interested in the softer skills — what key values people live by — Nazreen Naby
Margaret Harris spoke to Nazreen Naby, human resources manager of Regenesys
How does the skills crisis affect Regenesys?
Regenesys is a private higher education institute and we primarily appoint people with post-graduate qualifications and experience in the education sector. We find that this skill pool is becoming increasingly smaller and that there’s a high level of competition for qualified people in this sector.
What do you look for when recruiting lecturers for Regenesys?
Regenesys takes the recruitment and selection process of candidates very seriously, as we have realised through hard experience that a rigorous process results in the employment of individuals who not only possess the competencies that we require, but are also able to thrive in our organisational culture.
Regenesys invests a great deal of time, finances and human resources to ensure that the recruitment and selection process results in the employment of incumbents who are committed to the vision, mission and values of Regenesys. Besides skills and qualifications, we are also interested in the softer skills — what key values and principles they live by and how they would apply these at work.
