Speech Therapist Role in Recruitment

Saturday, 29 October 2016 by Asanda Mxi

The art of being articulate means more than just being well spoken, it is also vital to be understood. And in an era where time is money, employers require employees that are capable of communicating clearly, confidently and concisely. Let’s uncover the function of a Speech Therapist in recruitment.

During the recruitment process a Speech Therapist will assess and identify the following aspects:

Good Volume Control

A person’s voice reveals a lot about their personality. For example, if some one has a low self-esteem, it may be reflected by hesitancy in the voice, a shy person may have a quiet voice, but someone who is confident will be more likely to have command of their voice and clarity of speech.

Dysfluency

 People who are dysfluent know what they want to say, but sometimes find it difficult to physically produce speech, resulting in stuttering.

Good Understanding of Instructions

Listening is key to all effective communication; failure to listen effectively will no doubt affect one’s understanding of instructions.

Good language skills

Well-developed language skills are essential for good communication and understanding in any situation.

 Accent

Accents are a natural part of spoken languages. It is important to note that an accent is not a speech or language disorder. However, some people may have difficulty communicating because of their accent.

 Pronunciation Difficulties

Improper pronunciation can lead to a negative impression, misunderstanding and ineffective communication.

Appropriate Grammar

Grammar, whether written or spoken, lays the groundwork for effective communication. Improper or poor grammar can likewise affect the meaning and clarity of an intended message.

Clarity of Speech

Clear speech involves confidence, tone and articulation. This is very much related to what we mentioned earlier – “someone who is confident will be more likely to have command of their voice and clarity of speech.”

Being Understandable

 Understandability can be a huge barrier in communication. As with a good understanding of instructions, one also needs to be capable of conveying the message or instruction clearly and concisely.
