5 Steps to Help Hire Top Talent
Your cheat sheet for honing your hiring process.
Step 1
Get Ready to Hire
Clarify the position you need to fill and who would make the perfect candidate. Create your job description, establish a budget for your search, and begin.
1. Understand the Open Position
Establish the key functions, tasks, general parameters, and goals you will assign to this position.
2. Create Your Ideal Candidate
Nobody understands your business the way you do. Use that unique perspective to know who to look for, where to look for them, and how to get them to join you.
3. Write the Job Description
Review this job's specific tasks as they impact your organization's performance. Consider ways to make this role more effective or how it can improve, alter, or add to the organization's capabilities. Make sure everyone agrees.
4. Post the Job
You can increase your recruitment results and save money by optimizing how you use paid job boards, free job boards, and your own website to post your job.
Step 2
Find Candidates
Focus your search where it will bring you the best-qualified candidates. Stay connected with those candidates and nurture their interest in your company.
1. Understand the New Job Market
You probably already know there are about 7.3 million job openings but only 5.5 million total available employees.
2. Understand Active and Passive Candidates
The market is full of either Active or Passive Candidates. Active are looking for a new job while Passive would be intrigued by the potential of one.
3. Engage and Nurture Candidates
Proactively build a talent pipeline, instead of waiting for a position to open up when you'll be reactive and pressured. Once you make contacts with candidates, nurture them.
Step 3
Interview Candidates
Thoroughly prepare for each candidate interview. Consider the type of interview, the key questions, and the role of every interviewer in the process.
1. Be Prepared
You've invested time and resources to identify candidates for your open position. Preparing for the interview also requires time and resources so you can make an accurate appraisal of each candidate.
2. Choose the Type of Interview
Once you're ready to begin interviewing candidates, consider which style of interview best suits your company and your interviewers. Will the interview be in-person? Virtual? A hybrid of both?
3. Ask the Right Questions
Robust packets include questions for all your future interviews to ensure you know what to ask your candidate in any situation.
4. Provide a Positive Candidate Experience
Robust packets include questions for all your future interviews to ensure you know what to ask your candidate in any situation.
5. Candidate Feedback Form
Documenting what each interviewee learned within the interview is important in order to properly evaluate the candidate, compare candidates, and understand why hires last as long as they do within your company.
Step 4
Hire the Right Person
Checklists, templates, scripts, and guides are available to help you select the right candidates, reach out to them, and verify the information they've provided.
1. Candidate Interview Evaluation
Checklists will help you determine if the candidate has the hard and soft skills needed to be successful in the position.
2. References Questionnaire and Guide
Scripts and suggested questions will provide tips on how to gather references from previous employers.
3. Understanding Background Checks
Background checks can be complex. Use these tips to understand what you are looking at and how to evaluate them.
4. Offers and Negotiations
Offer letters vary from position to position. Use these tools to learn how to properly construct one for your business.
5. If You Haven't Found the Right Person
How you handle the people who aren't hired is crucial. In today's world of social media and public forums it is key to let rejected candidates down properly.
Step 5
New Hire Tips & Tricks
Make the new hire's first day a great day. Follow up with orientation, one-on-one meetings at 30 and 90 days, and help the new hire "live" the company culture.
1. Develop Your Onboarding Plan
Having a plan when onboarding a new hire has more levels than just a first day lunch. Find out what you can do to provide a great experience.
2. Make the New Hire's First Day Great
First impressions go both ways when a new member joins the team.
3. Mark the First 30 and 90 Days
