In order for your company to succeed, you need to hire the right people who are qualified for the positions you want to fill. Hiring someone who is not fit for the job can be disastrous, but there are ways to prevent this from happening and the key is to improve your hiring practices to attract talented candidates and to get them to apply.
The following tips will help you hire high-performing individuals who are success-oriented and right for your team:
Define the Job Clearly
You need to state the responsibilities and expectations so that candidates have a clear understanding of the position to determine whether or not they are qualified for the job. State whether they will have to work on a team or solo and whether it is an existing job or a newly created position. To do this, you need to understand what you are looking for, so make sure you have a plan in place and figure out which positions need to be filled. Determine the duties and your goals and create a job description based on this information.
Target the Right Audience
If you want to recruit the right candidates, you need to meet them where they are whether it is through LinkedIn or other social media platforms like Facebook. Look for specific groups that you want to reach out to so that you post job openings in front of the right audience. Using the same outlet year after year will not help, so go where your candidates are to find talent for your specific industry.
Spend Time with the Different Candidates
Traditional interviews are important, but they are not always enough because a half hour interview will not allow you to evaluate them. Host different types of interviews instead to figure out if the individual has the skills and background you need and ask questions that are relevant. Get creative with the process and follow up with references to find out more about the candidate’s skills and abilities. It is a must that you are open and honest about the position and what it entails, as this will allow you to hire the right person. Express your expectations very clearly to ensure you are on the same page.
Get Your Employees Involved
Engage your team so that they feel like they are part of the process. You can get your employees to interview the candidate or can have them show the candidate around the building. Not only will your team appreciate this involvement, this type of interaction will also help you determine whether or not the candidate will fit in with your organization, so get your team involved.
