Looking to hire only ‘A Players’? These steps need to be consistently completed during each hiring process.
Offer a referral bonus to someone who finds you the person you hire – Not $300 but maybe $3,000.00. This often makes them actively go and recruit for you.
Recruit – contact connectors, regional schools, past applies, local people, etc.
Phone interview – Tell Your Story Well. Ask them what was most appealing about the description. Do they ask you lots of good questions? Are they excited about the job?
Face to Face Interview with Other People On Your Team/Tandem or Panel Interview – 9 questions ready and an itinerary ready for the candidate and all interviewers.
Do something social or outside of a normal interview environment – get to know who they really are…you will discover all kinds of red flags and this can save you lots of money.
Personality Assessment – DISC is free.
Reference checks – have them set up managerial references for you.
Background checks / drug screen, etc.
Have them do some work (or shadow) for a few hours – (they evaluate your group and you evaluate them).
