As an employer there may come a time when you are in need of hiring staff in a hurry! Whether it’s due to company growth, restructure or an unexpected resignation, it can be stressful and overwhelming. Here are some handy tips from The Recruitment Alternative to assist you when hiring staff:
Get clear:
Getting clear on your business needs as well as what you are seeking in a new employee is key. Take some time to think about and answer the following questions:
- What does the business truly need?
- How does this position fit in to the smaller team and wider organisation?
- How will this role support the business moving forward?
- What are the key skills and experience required for the position?
- What is our company culture and what type of person will fit into this culture?
Once you are clear and your needs are clearly defined, formalise this in writing via a detailed Position Description.
Get organised:
- Have your calendar ready with days and times scheduled in for candidate interviews.
- Know your recruitment process. How many interviews will prospective candidates have? Will they be required to do any additional testing? Plan ahead and ensure you have your interview questions and interview guides prepared. Having a clearly defined recruitment process will alleviate some pressure and you can also confidently communicate this to the candidates.
- If you are interested in making an employment offer, don’t delay! In this candidate short market, candidates have no shortage of jobs to choose from and are quickly being snapped up!
