Common hiring mistakes to avoid
In a survey of more than 100 CEOs and executives, recruiting top talent was listed as one of the key components to success, according to the Boulder County Business Report. However, when asked how much time was allotted to hiring and employee recruiting processes, the same respondents gave dismal answers. This is one of the most common problems found in companies' strategies. Others include not developing the most effective job descriptions, missing the mark in interviews and engaging in practices that are not legal.
Inaccurate job descriptions
Before starting to search for employees, companies should spend considerable time drafting job descriptions, the California Daily Employer advises. This will serve as a basis for hiring criteria and reflects necessary skills, not a wish list.
Lackluster interviews
Managers aren't necessarily trained in proper hiring procedures, especially when it comes to interviews, the Boulder County Business Report adds. They should come prepared and behave professionally in the meetings if they want to attract top talent. This means ignoring distractions, such as phone calls, and making sure to attend meetings on time.
Other problems can arise if interviewers ask impermissible questions, the California Daily Employer explains. Any queries that lead job candidates to divulge information about disabilities, ethnic or national backgrounds could lead to legal trouble.
If companies are concerned their recruiting processes aren't optimal, they can consider outsourcing human resources to benefit from professional assistance.
