Almost certainly, the salaries of the employees constitute a large phttp://enablegroup.tth.asia/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/hiring-the-right-person.pngortion in any businesses’ accounting books. Business owners, and partners alike, knows how important this operating cost is to the company but not all companies have a process to safeguard this investment by hiring the right employees when they really should.
Some businesses choose to outsource the work partial/full process to external parties, while some may choose to do it themselves. If you are the latter, here are a few key areas for you to ask yourselves before diving into your recruitment process.
In any type of serious purchases, you don’t buy it with vague images of the items. You certainly don’t describe a car purchase with simply, 4 wheels and a steering, or a house using a roof and rectangular in shape.
Having an image of the perfect employee will help greatly in the assessment during the interviews. Having a checklist to that image is one of the easiest ways to accomplish this. The following points reinforces this checklist and we hope you will get value out of it.
It is probably more important to have the right assessors than the right assessment techniques. Involving the wrong people in the hiring process do more than just selecting the wrong candidate, it may end in rejecting the right one. For example; weak managers may tend to rate highly on weak candidates who are weak in the same way they are or rate poor on strong candidates because of the difference.
The best assessors are familiar with the range of experience and skills needed for the role but are self-confident enough about themselves in the company to accept a strong(er) candidate when spotted.
Conducting a proper interview is a lot harder than most would think, just like choosing your Outfit-Of-The-Day, or more affectionately know as OOTD, you should do so with structure in mind. There are many different techniques and in practice most employers deploy a hybrid of them. We picked up a few for your reading convenience.
Hiring as an employer is as much work as the candidate’s efforts. It takes two hands to clap in order for a match to be made and it certainly isn’t the easiest issue to tackle in running a company.

Employees that forego pay do so because they align with key values and opportunities that are woven into a company’s culture. These values cannot be doled out like bonus bucks.
