Recruiting the right person is undoubtedly one of the biggest challenges that you as a business leader or manager will face.

Investing time and effort, and following a well trusted and tested process will mean you improve your chances of hiring the best performers and avoid costly and painful mistakes…

You know that executing this task well first time bolsters your business and will have a positive impact on your existing team…

…so why do so many managers fail to get it right first time?

According to a 2012 report (which studied 5,247 hiring managers responsible for more than 20,000 hires) 46% of newly hired employees will fail within the first 18 months. Even more concerning is that only 19% will achieve unequivocal success!

BLOG 2 - Your business succeeds when you recruit the right people

Wouldn’t it be great if you consistently hired the right person for the right position?

Even better when these people go on to have a highly profitable impact on your business performance?

It can be highly frustrating and potentially damaging to your business if you recruit the wrong people - like the saying goes ‘one bad apple can rot the whole barrel!’

This means that if one of your employees gets it wrong then hundreds, maybe thousands of people will know, including competitors and customers… damaging your business’s (and your own) reputation.

Of course, this can also work on the flip side, your employee gets it right and your business looks great, as do you!

As consumers we all remember a good employee:

· That person at the call centre who knocked money off to really get you a better price on your car insurance.

· That checkout person that told you about the deal if you bought 3 instead of 2.

· That delivery driver who carried the items into your house as they were heavy – even though ‘technically’ he shouldn’t.

You remember them, you remember the company – you are more likely to give a positive review of the company and you will use them again.

These are great recruits, these people are superstars, these people are the people who, when you recruit them, make a positive impact on your business.

These are the people we all strive to hire.

And if you can improve your interviewing skills, you’ll improve your ability to hire these superstars.

Do you use a specific recruitment plan or process when faced with having to recruit someone?

…a checkout person will demand a different approach to a sales manager; however, if you use a proven 6-step process throughout, your chances of getting it right first time will greatly improve.

Yes, it takes time and energy to go through the whole process thoroughly, however it’s worth it, don’t you think, if it means that you are less likely need to recruit for the same job again?

BLOG 4 – Hire the right person by profiling them first

Hiring the right employees can make or break your business. The recruitment process is stressful, you already know this.

You and your business reputation can succeed or fail based on your selection.

However, by following this 6-step recruitment process, you can hire the right people for your business every time.

Interviewing is a time-consuming process and distracts you from the day to day job of running your business.

Do you have a limit to how many people you interview for a position?

What do you do if more people apply that you have time to interview?

Here’s the thing - would you want to waste time interviewing people who do not suit the role?

But how do you determine this…

There is a way… a scientific way…

It will help you decide right at the beginning of the process who to interview and more importantly who not to.

Saving you time and money…

Use a psychometric profile to find the candidates that are suited to the role and you bring some scientific objectivity to the recruitment decisions you make.

In a very short time you can draw up a psychometric job profile by completing a simple questionnaire. Use the job description and ideal candidate description to help you.

You can then ask all the applicants to complete a similar questionnaire and compare the two. This will determine whether they are a good match for the job.

Remember - The questions don’t have to only be about their suitability to the job, you can include questions that help determine their personality traits, competencies, style of working and what motivates them.

All things that are hard to determine in an interview but are crucial if they are to be a good fit within your team.

BLOG 5 – Your interview process can make or break the success of your business

In any recruitment process the 1st interview is a crucial step.

This will probably be the first time you have met the applicants.

By having any suitable candidates psychometrically profiled, you’ll have determined already that these candidates are suitable for the role and most likely will fit into your team.

Preparation and planning are key to the success of any interview - going on your gut instinct in an interview is not enough and has been proved to fail.

So how well do you prepare and plan for this first interview?

Do you know what you are hoping to achieve at the end of the interview to allow you to take the next step in the recruitment process?

The1st interview should be relatively brief – 30-45 minutes.

You need to have some well thought out questions – some of which are the same for every candidate – this way you can compare the answers afterwards.

Your 1st interview goals should be:

1. Sell the job, the career opportunity and your company - so that they want to come back!

2. Assess their attitude and values – do you like them? Will your team like them?

3. Share the next steps – so they know what to expect, when you will contact them - this shows you have a process and take the recruitment seriously.

Are these basic goals part of your 1st interview process?

Following up the 1st interview with a telephone interview, especially if they are in a customer facing role, will serve as an opportunity to assess their phone skills and also to keep them updated with the recruitment process.

BLOG 6 – Recruitment for your business should be a team effort…

Have you ever recruited someone that has turned out to be a disaster?

Someone that you thought would be a perfect fit, interviewed great, answered all the right questions and yet when they joined you knew within days or weeks that it would not work out?

If the answer to the above is yes, then it proves that you are normal! Everyone has, at some point as a business owner or manager of a team, employed the wrong person.

The secret is to learn from this and put a process in place to ensure it doesn’t happen again…a 6-step proven process for recruitment, which, when followed, means that you are more likely to hire the right person for the right job every time.

A big part of this process is the 2nd interview - this is when your team get involved.

To truly succeed they must be part of the both the recruitment and the decision-making process.

After all, if they don’t like the intended candidate, it will probably never work…

Inviting your candidates into the workplace to spend time with your team and perform work that you have prepared for them to do, will help your team assess their abilities and also their personality.

This is even more important if you are a small team as the impact of a bad hire can be critical, and the impact of a great hire massively positive.

BLOG 7 – Here are 4 helping hands to ensure successful recruitment

It pays to consider the time, money and lost performance associated with recruiting and training new people. It can be a big drain on a team.

Get it right and the time, money and extra work are all worth it. However, hire badly and you are back to square one.

Gut feeling, ill prepared interviews and skill-focused recruitment often means you don’t hire the right people.

If you are convinced in the value of hiring, then following a proven recruitment process and put these 4 tips to work for you:

1. Prepare well – use the same systematic recruitment process every time. Even when the grade of person you are hiring changes, try and apply the same principles. You want to hire well no matter what position you are filling, not just any old body to fill the space in your team.

2. Start your interviews by relaxing the interviewee – interviews are a nerve-racking experience – let them know you know this. Maybe talk about their journey here or run through the interview agenda.

3. Ask well thought out questions to assess attitude as well as skill – it is obviously important that they can do the job, but you can find out a little bit about their personality and behaviour during the interview process – especially if they have more than one interview.

4. If in doubt, leave them out – if you or any member of your team has any doubts, then you should not recruit them. It is easier and cheaper to repeat the recruitment process than it is to hire them, train them, only to then realise they are not suitable.
