Years ago, I read a book called ‘Hiring for Attitude’ which discussed the importance of considering a person’s attitude and fitting into a company’s culture versus examining only the experience and skills needed for the position. While it’s great to hire someone with experience and skills, it is as important to hire someone with the right attitude that fits well into your business’s culture.
After years of hiring employees for my own company, I’ve discovered there are three key hiring tools that, in combination, create the best opportunity to hire the best candidate for your company.
Multiple Interviews
Much of the work performed by office personnel is conducted via phone conversations. Having an interview over the phone can help you determine how they come across to others on a call. In-person interviews are also important so you can get a feel for their body language. Sometimes people may have strengths in one communication style or another, so conducting two interviews helps you understand the whole picture.
