At Global Resources, we are dedicated to being the most impactful partner you will ever have. We will navigate the way for your success, including helping you plan for the hiring new employees. Employees are the backbone of your business and, with the right team in place, growth and increase in profits will happen.
If you are a business owner embarking on the hiring process, we have 5 tips for you:
1. Focus on the candidate's potential. Nothing is more important in a new hire than attitude. While having the right skill set may seem essential, the fact is, skills can be acquired, but attitude is something which the new employee brings to the job. Attitude is a critical component in overall contribution and productiveness. A person with the wrong attitude can undermine company teamwork needed to maximize company success.
2. Check social media profiles. Most employers do a background check, including a quick Google search on the candidate's name, to see what is shown online. Today, we suggest looking at social media profiles to evaluate their online presence even further.
3. Ask the right questions. In advance, determine questions that will help you decipher a candidate's drive, ambition, and attitude. This will help you understand how the person works, and whether or not your prospective employee will grow with your business as a productive member of your team.
4. Let candidates ask questions. To help gage if your prospective candidate has the right attitude for your particular job, it's important to help that person understand the company's work environment. Allowing prospective employees to interview you for a change will give you a chance to see what's important to them.
5. Don't judge a book by its cover. It's easy to write off candidates based on their appearance, but it's more important that you consider how well they can do the job. Ask yourself, are they a good a good fit in other ways? When interviewing, it is important to think outside the box. Candidates who fall outside the narrow lines of your requirements may still be the perfect fit for your business, if they bring to the business skills or personal attributes which you were not looking for but now recognize as valuable.
