Considering all the resources utilized in the job search and onboarding, the numbers add up to a tremendous amount of wasted time and money.
So, how can companies improve their hiring process? Be thorough! It’s important to go through each step no matter how desperate you might be to fill in a vacancy. Hiring someone in hurry can cause your human resources department to forgo vital pre-employment screenings and background checks. Additionally, they might end up posting templated job descriptions that don’t reflect the position nor your culture.
The interview process is also phase where mistakes are commonly made. Make sure not to resort to “easy” questions or hiring an individual simply because the interviewer knows them or personally likes them. Personality is significant for work culture, but it shouldn’t dominate the interview. At the end of the day, a person’s skillset is more vital.
