"Separate the wheat from the chaff"
- separate the good from the bad, the valuable from the worthless.
The expression refers to the farming practice of threshing corn in order to separate the worthless husks from the good grain. Someone who, figuratively speaking, separates the wheat from the chaff identifies what is worthwhile in an undertaking and disgards that which is a waste of time.
Training
At Miller McKenzie we bring together industry experts from all major business sectors. Our recruiters typically have real-world experience in the industries in which they recruit; they know who you need to hire and how to reach them. Unmatched in the industry, our recruiters are subject matter experts and can provide specialised and targeted advice to help you find just the right candidate.
More importantly we ensure our consultants are trained in all aspects of recruitment and resourcing. Via off-site training organisations, video conferencing and internal courses we ensure our consultants have mastered our field-tested recruitment methodology so that we can deliver effective and optimum results for both clients and candidates. We therefore feel qualified to offer advice on all aspects of the recruitment process including interview techniques, CV preparation, how to conduct an interview, counteroffer acceptance, contracts, references, resignations and new employee retention.
