Hiring new employees is not an easy task, and many people underestimate this complex process.
What happens is that we need "racehorses" and because we do not carry out all the steps of the selection process correctly we are hiring "donkeys" and we demand that they run!
For this reason, here is a small screenshot of the necessary steps to be able to correctly hire the staff.
1. Determine the need
It is necessary to evaluate, together with the supervisors and managers of the area, how many people are really needed for the activity to be carried out correctly.
2. Make a job description
Here it is necessary to analyze what are the tasks that are carried out in the workplace, and based on this, determine what are the indispensable and exclusive characteristics of the people who would occupy the position.
3. Recruitment
We must use as many recruiting channels as possible in order to obtain a reasonable number of applicants. Today there are many pages where you can post notices guaranteeing the success of the recruitment.
The wording of the notice is very important, it must be clear and concise and contain all the exclusive requirements.
4. Filter CV
Many times, the desperation of people to get a job, makes them apply "just in case" and do not have any of the characteristics requested in the advertisement. For this reason, this stage is extremely necessary to avoid future losses of time conducting interviews with people who will never be able to fill the position.
5. Interviews by position
There are different types of interviews that can be carried out: Group, Individual, Closed, Open, With Psychological Test, etc. The choice of the same depends on the position to be filled.
6. Verification of data and references
We have already evaluated the curriculum and interviewed the candidate, now we have to verify the veracity of the data we have.
Asking for references from former employers will give us a great guide to how the person works and how they behave.
Today social networks have become a great tool to observe other aspects of the person.
7. Induction
We have selected our new employee, After making all the necessary stationery, we should not leave him alone. Try to remember how your 1st day at work was: full of anxiety and uncertainty. That is why it is important to help the person adjust to their new workplace.
We must present the company, the position, colleagues, supervisors, etc.
8. Monitoring
We must ask the supervisors to observe the new entrant and to provide us with feedback on the adaptation and evolution of the same.
