There\u2019s an old saying, \u201cHire slow, fire fast.\u201d While we\u2019re not\u00a0sure the adage fits HR decision-making in today\u2019s fast-paced business world, we agree with the sense of careful caution it suggests. Companies lose millions\u00a0each year as a direct result of hiring the wrong person. The Harvard Business Review <\/em>reports that 80% of employee turnover<\/a> is related to bad hiring decisions. In addition to wasting wages, benefits, training and even relocation costs, a bad hire can negatively effect company morale. Here are some of \u00a0top recommendations for helping you select the perfect job candidate and succeed in hiring the right person.<\/p>\n

1. Don\u2019t Just \u201cGo With Your Gut\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Many times an HR manager hires based on their connection with the candidate. That instinct\u00a0is only partially important; it relates to candidate’s cultural fit. However, just because a candidate makes you laugh is not the best reason to hire them. Attitude and personality are\u00a0important, but make certain you check references; 11% of companies skip this step<\/a>. Look at everything available on the candidate, from resume to their LinkedIn profile.<\/p>\n

2. Understand Your Process When Hiring the Right Person<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The key to a successful hire is partially\u00a0dependent upon defining your own internal processes. Developing a\u00a0job description and understanding the responsibilities of the role are crucial to candidate selection. How can you fit the person to the job if you\u2019re not certain what the job entails? Communicate what your team\u2019s expectations are\u00a0and make sure you are prepared with questions related to the job description. Include as many direct co-workers in the process as feasible: this will help you understand the candidate\u2019s cultural fit. It will also begin\u00a0bonding existing employees to the new employee.<\/p>\n

3. Don\u2019t Overpromise <\/strong>When Hiring the Right Person<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In our efforts to snag the person we think is a perfect fit, we might oversell the role and the company. Try to stick to the job facts and the cultural realities of the company. Answer questions in the most forthright way possible, and certainly let your enthusiasm shine through. But never oversell; smart candidates will either see through it or, when hired, experience disappointment in a role that wasn’t exactly what you promised.<\/p>\n
