Hiring Process

The world is now on a recruiting and head hunting spree.

We are recruiting on a daily basis. Jobs are getting competitive, the needs, wants, the career hunger is growing.

Sadly along with that the rate at which we let go recruits too has increased.

Along the years I have found a way that works for me.

The basic process of hiring is we read through a CV, see if it tallies with what we are looking for and call them for an interview.

The first interview is a human touch. We are about the career path, previous employee and basically a run-down of the CV. Sadly most recruiters are impressed by the former company they worked at or job title they held, this does not weirdly work.

We hire is months we realize they might not be the best fit, or they under-perform from the given expectations so we let them go.

Back to step number one, during your discussion if you feel it’s not the best fit usually it may be right. If the discussion goes great. Please do not tell them you shall internally discuss and let them know.

At that given point if your answer is yes, tell them to return in 5 working days for a second interview.

This second interview is your key to if you are hiring them. You should tell them to come prepared for either:

1.      How they’re going to solve a current ongoing problem for which they are been hired for

Or

2.      How they’re going to improve in the given job position what changes and additions they can bring.

By this you shall know definitely if the recruit is eligible.

Do not hire because the CV sounds great.

Recruits letting go of you does not mean you are bad at what you do, just means you did not fit there. You can always find a place you fit in and grow.

Cheers!
