Hiring the perfect team to increase a far greater chance of success.
There is nothing more important for businesses than hiring the right staff that will balance its workforce to develop skill set of teamwork. Employers consisting of unique members that makes up just the right mixture and balance of people working for them tends to have a team that works together and sort things out when issues comes along. However, the best person for the job does not always walk right through that office door and apply.
The first thing to look for when searching for a great employee is somebody with a personality that fits with your company culture. Most skills can be learned, but it is difficult to train people on their personalities. If you can find people who are fun, friendly, caring and love helping others, then you’re heading towards the right direction. This added advantage by choosing the right candidate with positive display of character is a plus to our hiring department.
In time, we’ve learned that personality is the key. It is not something that always comes out in interview naturally. Sometimes, you have to trust your personal judgement. If you have got a slightly introverted person with a great personality, use your experience to pull it out of them. It is easier with an extrovert, but be wary of people becoming overexcited in the pressure of interviews.
You can learn most jobs extremely quickly once you are thrown in the deep end. Within three months you can usually know the ins and outs of a role. If you are satisfied with the personality, then look at experience and expertise. Find people with transferable skills – you need team players who can pitch in and try their hand at all sorts of different jobs. While specialists are sometimes necessary, versatility should not be underestimated.
Some managers get hung up on qualifications. I only look at them after everything else. If somebody has five degrees and more A grades than you can fit on one side of paper, it doesn’t necessarily mean they are the right person for the job. Great grades count for nothing if they aren’t partnered with broad-ranging experience and a winning personality.
That doesn’t mean you can’t take risks when building your team. Don’t be afraid of hiring mavericks. Somebody who thinks a little differently can help to see problems as opportunities and inspire creative energy within a group. Some of the best people weave ever hired didn’t seem to fit in at first, but proved to be indispensable over time.
If you hire the wrong person at the top of a company, they can destroy it in no time at all. Promoting from within is generally a good idea as the employee who is promoted will be inspired by the new role, already know the business inside out, and have the trust and respect of their team.
Equally, bringing in fresh blood can reinvigorate a company. Major companies could attest, as well as small to mid-sized businesses all over the world, that non-experienced individuals have brought a lot of fresh ideas into their company, as well as experience of what the competition is doing well and what they are doing badly.
When companies go through growth spurts, they often hire in bulk and company culture can suffer. While it may seem a desperate rush to get somebody through the door to help carry the load, it is worth being patient to find the right person, rather than hurrying and unbalancing your team.
