How To Hire Good Employees

Chances are, you have - at one point or another - heard horror stories about nightmare employees. In fact, if you are in charge of hiring employees, you have probably encountered nightmare employees yourself. Sometimes, the reaction is to wonder, "How did this employee get this way?" But a better reaction would be the introspective one, asking, "Why on earth did I hire this person?" Of course, hiring employees is about more than just avoiding the nightmare employees; it is also about finding those employees who become great for your company. 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.

Hiring good employees begins at the resume process. Begin by cutting out the unqualified applicants; it might be easy to just interview everyone, but in the long run it will save you time and headaches to narrow down your field. If you come across employees you are not sure about, don't just make a decision on a whim; after all, you might end up discarding a great applicant, or you might end up interviewing someone who is a big waste of time; instead of making a snap judgement, take the time to call these applicants. Finally, look at the resumes themselves, asking how much attention the applicants paid to their resumes; if you hire someone with a sloppy resume, you just might end up with a sloppy employee.

When it comes time for the interviews themselves, focus on the applicant's attitude and intelligence. 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, while interviewing, allow the interviewee to ask questions. This will help you get to know them better, and it will help you understand how their mind works. 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, if a successful business truly begins with employees, then a successful business begins with the person in charge of hiring these employees.
