Hiring And Recruiting Mistakes

Hiring is very important process in an organisation. Hiring a wrong person affects the organization's time, training and energy. Given below are some activities to avoid mistakes during recruiting process. Following these activities will give you better result for recruiting, interviewing and hiring practices and help you to develop a strong and healthy organization.

Points to avoid hiring and recruiting mistakes:

• Pre-screen candidates: Pre-screening the candidates makes recruiting and hiring process easier and helps to choose the best employees. You can know about the skills and knowledge about the candidates, which you require. Always pre-screen candidates before interview.
• Fail to train the applicant: If the applicant does not ask any question about the company and the specific job for which he/she applied. Prepare them for the interview, by determining their skills, so the interviewer spends more time on discussing important issues. Provide the applicant with all the details related to the company and the position he/she is applying for.
• Fail to prepare the interviewer: Interviewer needs to meet in advance and create a plan. A small planning does not results in better interview.
• Talk a lot during interview: Components are there in the interview rather than the question, answer and discussion. When the candidate walks through the company, ask about his/her experience. In a manufacturing company, they ask the candidate how they would improve a process.
• Not just skills and experience, but evaluate 'personality’: It is nice to be liked by people at workplace, but this is less important than recruiting. People always hire the people whose behaviour is similar to them and they feel comfortable with.
• Develop a small applicant pool: Take your own time to hire the person until you get the right candidate. Don’t just adjust with the people who don't have the skills and experience that you need. It’s better to search again.

If you follow these activities successfully, you can increase the probability of employees, which helps you in developing happy, healthy, productive and competitive organization.
