Top Tips to Hiring the Best.
There’s a difference between filling a job and hiring the right person to add value to the company.
Consider these questions before you complete your next hire:
- Check the obvious first – are they competent? Do they have the necessary skills, and qualifications?
- Are they capable of delivering beyond expectations? Do they have an inquiring mind and personal initiative to achieve more than what is in the job description?
- In what way will this candidate add value to your company compared to other applicants?
- Do their values align with your company? Are they honest? Do they have team player skills?
- Will they fit with the ‘culture’ of your business? Will they be guided by the policies and procedures, values and expectations?
- Are they driven by the dollar? Will they accept the highest paying offer and move to the next offer in a short time?
- Are they interested in future career growth, continued learning and leadership development?
- Are they serious about their career goals or are they just filling the role with a 9 to 5 attitude?
It is rare to have a perfect placement. Using competencies and salary are good indicators, but by engaging in a more robust selection process you will find a more authentic fit.
