Good hiring decisions are critical to the success of your organization. In reality, no one has a 100% batting average when hiring.
In this podcast, I share the Seven Steps to Hiring Great People for your company. The how-to manual effectively interviews and selects the right person for the right job.
Your business is only as good as your employees. Every employee represents a facet of your business to clients and the community from the front desk to the executive offices. Hiring the wrong person can cost you more than just money.
Managing the people in your company takes time, but dealing with a “poor performance” employee can take up to 70 percent more time than one with “good performance”.
When you hire the right people, you can focus on the big picture - running your business - rather than worrying about smaller details.
Hiring takes time, effort, and money, but did you know hiring the right people can save you money?
Uninformed managers take a “go with your gut” mindset when choosing a candidate, but a wrong hire can find you scurrying to replace someone you hired on a “hunch”. This equals spending additional money.
When it comes to wasted payroll and lost sales, you could be losing upwards of 25 percent of the annual salary for the role you’re attempting to fill. Hiring the most qualified candidates means new employees are able to hit the ground running and begin making valuable contributions to the company.
No business is an island. Businesses thrive when teams work together toward a common task or goal. Strong team players will contribute to your company’s culture, just as bringing in the wrong person will disrupt it. Additionally, replacing a bad hire shortly after they begin working with you can cause existing team members to feel unsettled, leading to lower productivity.
As a Results-Driven Manager, you cannot afford to make any hiring mistakes by taking shortcuts.
You must have a sustainable, successful process to build a successful team. Before interviewing, you must first develop a list of competencies, job requirements, and evaluation criteria.
Then, plan and time block the days and times for you and other peers involved in the interview process. Schedule interviews into dedicated times for first, second, and third-level interviews, as warranted. Create this schedule over a minimum time; three days is a target. Then, evaluate the candidates at the end of the interview period. This process will eliminate the loss of desirable candidates due to delays.
Avoid these hiring mistakes and follow the Results-Driven Hiring methods, and it will put the odds in your favor for successful hiring outcomes.
