Interpersonal Business

Define the qualities of the individuals you are seeking. Ask yourself if your company is offering a compensation package that will attract the type of candidates you want. Check out the competition. Are there individuals from within who deserve the available position? Are you prepared to offer the kind of training that will enhance the candidate’s chances of success?

Patience is the most critical factor when hiring; the goal is to find the right person, not simply fill the position. You must set qualification standards based on the best and brightest of your current staff! Be candid with your expectations during the initial interview; a second interview should be scheduled for those who interested you. Imagine the candidate with a group of their peers, and listen to your gut. Remember, not all people are meant to work together.
