How to hire the right talent?

How to hire the right talent?

  • Please take out special time (or even brainstorm) and work over Job Description. PLEASE NEVER COPY PASTE FROM INTERNET. Rather take format/references from internet & prepare your own JOB DESCRIPTION for the open position.
  • Keep clear Job Description with package offering as per current market condition or bit more than that
  • Keeping an attractive Job Description [Which no job seeker can deny] will work a lot!
  • Make sure the interviewers and the person who is reviewing the resumes must know & understand Job Description very well [If that's not done - you are surely going to waste lots of your time unknowingly]
  • Try to get max CV/Resumes for the position through different sources based on your JD
  • Make sure the interviewees know & understand Job Description with package range offerings
  • Proceed with a standard/fixed filtering method with set criteria
  • Review at your current Recruitment Process and work out if any changes required based on Job Description then do it for sure
  • Complete Recruitment Process in a set timeline (e.g. 7-15 days max). Every company wants a right talent so if you delay a lot, the candidate can be hired by some other company. He/she may only wait more if you are his/her desired/dream company.
  • Keep all candidates well informed about your recruitment process
  • Keep in touch with all the probable candidates for this position
  • Keep all candidates aware about their latest statuses of their candidature in the company
  • If you like any candidature, don't wait for other candidates' assessment (simultaneously definitely keep on processing it too), just go ahead and proceed further with the selected candidate and finish further process. Try to minimize the delay. Please take help from upper authority by discussing the loss which may occur if we delay more.
  • Ask relevant questions (even the toughest/twisting ones too based on requirements) and by that please check if he/she is ready to cop up with the challenges he/she may face after joining. There can be no. of direct/indirect questions possible to check if the candidate is right fit or not.
  • Specially - schedule an HR interview (if you don't have experienced HR, please hire an experienced HR on contract basis, just to conduct HR round) OR increase your knowledge on HR interview part & conduct it by yourself
  • As a thumb rule, do background (ex employer, educational etc.) verification for sure.
  • If a candidate is selected, offer as per current market or little bit more than that (if he/she is asking bit more than current market conditions) and if he/she is accepting the offer, please inform others so they don't wait or expect further updates from you. This will help in future relationship with the not selected candidates & will show a professionalism & responsibility towards the other applicants.
  • At the time of offering, the candidate must be aware of his roles and responsibilities in the company & the same should be given after the joining. This will help in minimizing post joining issues.
  • Employees won't like surprises post joining. So keeping any critical point hidden will affect a lot even if you hire the right candidate.
