MY HR - great employeeTo have a great company, you need great employees. Hiring a great employee is a challenge in any economy, because the best workers are usually employed and aren't always looking to move. Now, with the job market improving, competition for the best employees is stronger.
Here are 6 steps you can take to ensure your next employee is a great one:
Define what "great employee" means to you. The qualities that make an employee invaluable in one company, or one position, may not be the same in another.
Write a good job description. Many employers tend to throw into a job description every little duty the previous incumbent performed. Instead, go light on the minutiae. Paint with large strokes. Make your company sound attractive: ask your employees what they like about working there, and put those attributes in the description.
Decide compensation. Remember that a great employee adds far more value to your company than he or she costs. Instead of asking, "What is the cost of hiring this employee?" ask, "What is the cost of making a bad hire?"
Cast a wide net. Ask for referrals from your employees and associates. Vendors often know star employees who work in your industry or a related one. Reach out to staffing firms with strong databases of candidates. When you get a lead to a great employee, follow up quickly – you never know who else is courting that person.
Interview smart. Interview for skills, attitude and cultural fit. Have the candidate meet with several employees so more facets of the potential employee's personality get revealed. Everyone is fit and chipper at the first interview. Stars with stamina maintain their energy into the eighth.
Check references. Don't call only the references the candidate provides. Great employees can easily find three people who will vouch for them. Ask for phone numbers of their colleagues and bosses. Check their social media activity.
Hiring a great employee takes time and resourcefulness. But having hired one, how do you keep the employee?
