HR Tips – Recruiting through thought

December 17th, 2007 by Ingrid Cliff

When you need to recruit, take time to think through the role in detail. Too many businesses leap into recruitment without planning the person they need to fill the role best. As a result they get a mismatch in personality or skill.

Think through what tasks need to be performed and to what standard. Do you need a bubbly extroverted person to talk with people or a quiet person who prefers just to get on with the job?

What sort of skills are needed to be able to successfully perform the role? What personality traits and work ethic do they need to fit in with the team

Where do they live? What sort of salary expectations should they have?

The time taken in thinking through your ideal candidate will pay dividends when it comes to advertising, interviewing and selecting.

Until next time
