Recognizing Good Hires During The Hiring Process

You might have heard horror stories of nightmare employees. In fact, you have probably come across a few nightmare employees of your own, especially if you are in charge of hiring employees. The reaction to nightmare employees can be to wonder, "How on earth did this person get to be this way?" But a better reaction would be the introspective one, asking, "Why on earth did I hire this person?" Of course, hiring is not just about avoiding the nightmare employee; it is also about hiring the employee who will become a prize of yours down the road. It is about finding those special employees who will benefit the company in a number of ways, employees who can be promoted again and again. What can you do to ensure that you hire such employees? The answer is actually very simple.

The hiring process begins with the resume. While it might be easy at first to just interview everyone who applied, it will save you time and headaches in the long run if you cut out the applicants who are unqualified. Furthermore, take the time to call those applicants you are not quite sure about; a chat on the phone can go a long way in helping you decide, and it can save you time if they are not right, and it can be valuable if they end up becoming a great employee in the future. Finally, take the time to examine the attention the applicant gave their resume; an applicant with a sloppy resume is likely to become a sloppy employee.

When you interview, make sure you focus on the applicant's intelligence and attitude. A smart person with a good attitude is far more likely to do a good job, even if their application reveals that they are less accomplished, than an applicant with a lot of accomplishments and a surly disposition.

Finally, during the interview, let the interviewee ask some questions. In this way, you can gain a greater understanding of the ways in which this person's mind works, and you can get to know them better. Future "prize employees" are likely to be full of intelligent questions, and anyway, allowing them to ask questions helps you get to know them better.

There is so much that goes into making a successful business run, but the hiring process is one of the most important aspects of all. After all, a successful business begins with employees, and for those in charge of hiring employees, it all begins with them.
