|
my prior life nike shox classic, I was a controller of a recruiting company so I have some insight in this area. Asking the right type of questions and finding the right candidate can be challenging. We often get our personal feelings involved in the hiring process; you like the person but the person may not necessarily have the right skill set for the job. Often we may compromise what we are searching for in a candidate in exchange for an easy fit.
Here are some things that you want to think about before you hire an employee:
1. Put together a job posting that will capture the interest of a potential employee, flexible hours, benefits, and the job requirements.
2. When recruiting for an employee, have a job description put together. This will have a job summary, duties and responsibilities, complexity of work, experience, skills, and education. This will keep you focused on who you are looking for.
3. When interviewing have some behavioral type of interview questions. For example: Tell me about a time when your workload was heavy. How did you complete all your work? Remaining calm under extreme pressure is a difficult skill for many people. Tell me about a situation when you were able to do this. These types of questions give you some good insight on how someone could react with your clients. Sometimes people don't know how to answer these questions. Not receiving an answer can also be an indicator as to how they think on their feet and respond to pressure.
4. Consider utilizing one (or more) of the many personality quizzes available. These quizzes have been studied and researched and will give you a "scientific" summary of each candidates strengths and weaknesses.
5. Look for someone who has consistent job experience and has spent 4 or more years in one position at some point in their career.
6. Be sure to check references!!!!
Be firm on what you are searching for in a candidate. Be clear about what you stand for and what your values are in your company. You are searching for someone who shares similar values. Finding good employees will not come easy nor should it. In my last job posting, I phone screened all the resumes and only interviewed who I thought was a perfect fit for the job. This may be time consuming but it will cost you in the long run if you do not take the time. |
