July 21, 2019
Any management can attest that it is always challenging to find people to fill in positions or jobs in the company. With the internet technology nowadays, companies are fortunate to have the convenience of finding and connecting with workers through the present volume of social media and online networking and career sites, with only a matter of searching and reading profiles and advertisements posted. But be forewarned that it is never easy also to identify who is the best or just adequate or not to fill in the position, and making a wrong decision will be costly for management.
Businesses would agree that it pays for them to capitalize on new hires, and the important thing then is to be able to hire the right people. It is a fact that during interviews, we can only get so much information from the applicants, maybe because of some information that are misleading, or could be the wrong questions of the one interviewing.
Therefore, we would like to show you some pointers that will help improve your manner in hiring new employees.
The number one step that management has to do, which is a very important step that is sometimes overlooked is to create a detailed job description for the positions where employees are needed. Management has to understand how critical it is to write down a detailed job description, for this is where the company will fill in the needed and specific skills, responsibilities, time and energy required for the position. Note that if the person you will hire is not given a clear job description, they could underperform and both management and the person may not be satisfied with the work.
Next is for management to review both the resume and social networking media outlets of the potential applicant, thanks to the availability and convenience of the internet. Management is able, through these social media sites, to check the history of the person, without violating his or her privacy, about references, profiles, and other online activities.
Then there is the strategy of divide and conquer, which means to impact the bias of hiring, management can assign different people to interview several potential applicants. This you can do by preparing a set of questions for each interviewer and make them conduct the interview for each applicant in different environments.
Our next suggestion is for management to make an analysis of their top and bottom performers of the company, and from here create a baseline as basis on who will be the successful and the best possible applicant among them.
The next important thing that your personnel department should do or have is an employee assessment program which will set the standards for future hires.
