estimates
that hiring the wrong person could cost a company up to $20,000 a year. Some would put that estimate even higher.
Increase your chances of making your next hire a great match for your small business, by avoiding these 25 hiring mistakes:
Editor’s note: watch a video featuring the top 10 hiring mistakes to avoid.
RECRUITING MISTAKES
1. Not Writing or Updating a Job Description
How can you know if you’ve found what you’re looking for in a candidate, if you haven’t clearly defined it? Write down the main duties and
the skills needed.
The act of writing it down clarifies your own thinking. A clear job description also helps the candidate decide if the role is right. And it helps co-workers understand what’s needed in the role (they may not be aware of everything required, and that can lead to workplace tensions especially if someone internally was passed over).
2. Ignoring Previous Mistakes
So, the last employee didn’t work out. Figure out what went wrong before hiring again. Was the last person not up to the job? Perhaps you need to look for more experience. Or was the problem the inability to get along with co-workers? If so, you might want to emphasize team interviewing this time. Whatever happened, avoid repeating the same hiring mistakes.
3. Not Knowing Market Compensation
Recruiting will be a frustrating exercise if you are wildly out of the ballpark on pay. Ask other business owners what they pay. Check out salary surveys and advertised positions on job boards.
