Leaving our Important
Details:
The most common mistake you'll want to avoid when
recruiting is posting incomplete, non-descriptive
advertisements. As stated earlier, in order to
narrow down your choices, you really need to
create an informative job-posting announcement to
avoid interviewing applicants who should not have
applied for the position in the first place.
Same
Position mistake:
Also, don't fall into the trap of looking for
someone who has worked in the exact same position
within a different company. While at first this
may seem your safest bet for hiring a qualified
employee, what you are doing is eliminating the
potential to bring in a creative, fresh outlook to
your business.
New
Eyes:
Interview candidates who have experience that is
similar to the responsibilities required of your
job vacancy. They can probably add a fresh set of
eyes and bring great ideas to your company that
you wouldn't have if you hired someone who has
just left the same job in another organization.
Don't forget your existing
employees when recruiting for new ones. Before
advertising a job vacancy, consider promoting an
employee into the position. If there is no one in
the organization who could adequately fill the
position, ask your employees for references of
people who they feel would work well in the
position.
If one of them turns out to be a
good fit, consider paying a referral fee to the
employee who made the recommendation.
