Start-ups always have a lot of financial problems, but they also suffer from a qualified workforce, so it is highly recommended that you choose the new employee very well so that everything runs smoothly and you have less concern
In any company, people are more important than machines, because they think, give ideas, manage and control the machines with which products are made.
For this reason it is necessary to have the right people in the company for the tasks that are carried out there. Experience has shown that when workers are properly selected, production is increased, problems among staff are reduced, and profits are improved.
How do you find a good worker? First, keep in mind that the best thing to do is to have a choice, so try to call several candidates, who must give you their personal data and confirmed references. But this is not enough. Let's see.
If I take care when choosing a worker, I will be avoiding the waste of materials, thefts, non-compliance with schedules, conflicts between workers, low results, etc. On the other hand, a new search for workers begins when an old one leaves, I buy more materials and machinery, orders increase, I need someone to help me control.
For a more efficient search, go to the publication of your need in the press, magazines and other written media at your fingertips and that are read by the population with the highest concentration of people with the characteristics you are looking for, you can also do it by spreading the called on the radio including placing the advertisement on the façade of his factory, so that both the people who pass by and the other employees find out and spread the call even further. Finally, a very good option is to go to a professional training entity that seeks to access its database of graduates in this way or, on the other hand, to have contact with those who are about to graduate in order to reduce costs of workforce.
In this way, in a short time you will have a large number of applications at your door waiting to be selected. Some will show more strengths than others but possibly also have insurmountable weaknesses. For this it is good to be very clear from the beginning which characteristics you prefer over which and what you are looking for in an employee of your firm.
Some requirements may be
- Do well in the trade With experience In good health Age limitations (neither too young nor too old) Dynamic personality and aptitude for learning.
Never forget to verify the information that the candidates have provided you. Remember that you do not know them and do not know if what they say is true. Don't take the risk.
It is time to go into practice and check your skills, call your remaining candidates and ask them for a sample of their work. Rate them, look at them in detail, and determine if they fit your criteria, for example: be careful with quality, skillful and fast, initiative, material saver, good machine connoisseur.
Since you have found the best, it is time to hire him.
Will it be necessary to know how to hire workers? Yes, ignorance of the legal forms that exist to hire workers creates problems for companies, problems that often end in labor lawsuits, which not only affect the normal operation of the company but are also reflected in a marked decrease in profits and in the discomfort of workers.
What is an employment contract? It is an agreement by which a natural person undertakes to provide a personal service to another natural or legal person, under his continued subordination and through remuneration. (CST Art. 22)
Take a good look at the definition above. There are three essential points.
1. Personal Activity: that the worker personally carry out the work.
2. Subordination: the employer has the power to give orders and instructions to the worker on the way, time and quantity of work.
3. Remuneration: there must be a salary that compensates the worker for his work.
There are two forms of hiring, a verbal one, when by simple agreement and orally the employer and the worker determine the type of work, the salary, and the form of payment. In this case there is no trial period. The other written, is one that is made in a document signed by the employer and the worker, may have a trial period.
The employer must request from the employee at least the following documents:
- Identity document, Military notebook, Judicial past, Medical examination, Blood examination, Lung examination.
Depending on the duration, the contract can be agreed to a fixed term, when its duration is not less than one year (must be in writing). Or indefinitely, when the employer and the worker do not give it a certain duration (it can be in writing or it can be verbal)
Finally, I want to clarify the concept of a trial period. This is the initial stage of the employment contract, it has two purposes that the worker knows the job and its demands and that the employer sees the worker's productivity. In this period the contract can be terminated without prejudice to the parties.
I recommend that whenever you have a new hiring take the time to give him a good induction, in order to show him his new job site and so that the worker takes confidence with the company and with himself.
Depending on the regulations of each country, there will be details that you must find out directly in an office of the Ministry of Labor or in the labor regulations of your country.
