MD of O'Connor Marketing, Ronan O'Connor, encourages businesses to think outside the box when hiring new talent. Instead of asking the usual interview questions, he says business owners should look out for athletes.



    SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, July 26, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In order to hire superstars, not just contributors, O'Connor Marketing say business owners should look for athletes. Ronan O'Connor of O'Connor Marketing explains: "You may ask interviewees about their experience or their strengths and weaknesses. However, the question that you should definitely ask is what sport they are playing." O'Connor Marketing reveals their three reasons why they believe athletes will be superstars and make all the difference to a company:

1. They are good at time management
Ronan O'Connor says: "As a manager you want to work with people who can self-direct, manage and prioritise their work." Athletes are goal orientated and know what to do and how to prioritise their tasks in order to achieve their targets. "Surely, they need support, however you won't have to take them by their hands," adds Ronan O'Connor of O'Connor Marketing. Athletes can manage their time effectively. "Give them some directions and the preferred outcome and you will be positively surprised," adds Ronan O'Connor.

2. They know how to deal with failure
Athletes work extremely hard, many hours every week in order to compete with others. If they fail, they get back up on their feet until they succeed. "Athletes don't quit. They work on their performance until they win. Having someone like this working in your business, you can be sure they will hit their key performance objectives and more," says Ronan O'Connor of O'Connor Marketing. Athletes are passionate to achieve a fantastic performance.

3. They are real team players
Athletes understand the importance of teamwork and how it can enhance the company's culture and productivity. "Being a real team player at work is no different from a basketball or football game. Athletes would do anything to support their team members. They have the overall goal in mind and understand that everybody's contribution is needed in order to achieve optimum results," explains Ronan O'Connor.
