In every area of our business operations, we want to avoid as many mistakes as we can. That also goes for hiring and staffing in our companies. Putting the wrong candidate in a position can have lasting effects that can put your company back tremendously.
We found quite a few mistakes listed in a recent article in Entrepreneur Magazine recently and many of these we agree with. And with hiring growing at a rapid pace in the past several months, it can be easy to make a mistake.
In a growing operation, taking your time to get your hiring plan in place could result in lost revenue. If you can’t take care of customers, orders, etc…, you can’t continue to grow.
A couple other things to remember when hiring, make sure your candidate is a good fit for your company and culture. That person may have great skills but if they don’t fit your culture or buy into your mission, that won’t be a good thing down the road and could cause more harm than good.
One thing not mentioned in the article below is the value of a good partner such as a recruiter. Companies outsource many activities such as collections, various legal matters and much more. Why not let a reputable recruiting company get a handle on your hiring needs, screen those candidates for you and find just the right talent. It will save you time and money.
