How To Get Good Employees - FAST
Getting you the right person at the right time is critical. Neither of us wants the hiring process to drag, nor do we want to sift through hundreds of people who don’t meet your qualifications. That’s why it’s important for us to know what you’re looking for. Here are four things you can do to speed up the process and get the right person for your business.
1. Define the qualifications of the job.Review the job you’re hiring for. Know what it takes to be successful, both in technical and interpersonal skills. Ask the departing employee, or for a new position, ask the employees that feed data to this job, and those that get data or work from it. For example, saying you need someone with good customer service skills is very different than needing an administrator who can handle a ten-line phone, two computer terminals and the front door, all at the same time. Many candidates can smile and say hello, but multitasking with accuracy while keeping that sunny disposition is not the same.
2. Create a clear outline.
Once you know what you’re looking for, let us help you write it a way candidates can understand. They may not be familiar with your company and they may have a background that uses different words for the same thing. For example, a benefits specialist at your business may handle everything from medical plans to employee safety. A benefits specialist at a much larger company may handle enrollments for medical plans and nothing else. If you hired this person, you’d be getting a benefits specialist, but not the one you need.
3. Be choosy.
In this day and age, employees rarely stay at one company for long. They like to move around. Employees are not making a career-long commitment to you when they start. Yet, you want your key people around for a long time, and training a new employee takes time and money. That’s why you should be choosy when it comes to hiring. Plan on working with this person for years. They might just be around until you retire, so be choosy.
4. Be Clear.
Make sure the requirements and job duties are easy to understand by someone who does not already work for your company. Some postings have so much corporate jargon that it's difficult for job seekers to tell if they are qualified, leading many to simply press a button to submit a resume, just in case.
