Each day 50,000 people quit their jobs. In most cases, they quite because they should never have been hired in the first place! Why does this mismatch happen? When hiring a new employee, HR professionals typically focus on what the candidate has done. But when firing an employee, HR professionals tend focus on who they are. That hiring focus rarely turns out long-term, successful employees or potential managers. (Sometimes, yes, but this is the exception and not the rule.) This is why it is important to hire the person and not the resumé. An HR procedure for hiring can help you hire the right person, the first time; not only for the job, but for the organization.
Things to consider when creating a full-proof hiring procedure:
- Determine who needs to be involved in the interview process
- Determine characteristics a viable candidate should possess for specific jobs
- Determine what the company culture is and what type of employee would “fit into” that culture
Those are just a few considerations to include in an HR Procedure for Hiring. SACS Consulting & Investigative Services, Inc. can formulate the best procedure for successful hiring in your organization. Contact us to speak with one of our HR Procedure specialists today to find out more!
