How to decide when you’re unsure whether to hire someone or not
Deciding to hire a new person for your team is important and often you must make a tough decision. Maybe you have 2 candidates and you're trying to choose between them, or maybe you have just one candidate that you’re on the fence about and unsure if you should progress.
So how do you make a choice? Well, the research says that hiring isn’t a full science if a candidate performs well in an interview unfortunately there is no 100% guarantee they will be great in a job. So, no matter how well they do, or if they don’t do well in an interview, this isn’t necessarily reflective of their upcoming on the job performance. Darn, no easy decision here.
So, with that in mind, here are a few solutions to make your decision:
1. Does the candidate positive values and a good character?
2. Does the candidate have a passion for the job?
3. Does the candidate high energy and are smart?
If you get three yes’s then proceed ahead, if you get even 1 no then let them go.
You’ll be pleasantly surprised by smart people with high energy and a passion for the job. They will get a lot of things done and be committed to work. Those with good value sets will do the right things for your business.
Having that sort of candidate in your business will help you, no matter what the job is.
