The Recruitment Process

When business owners decide to employ someone, they often pay little attention to the
importance of having as objective a recruitment process as possible.

Commonly, the following happens:

• Advertisement is placed

• Resume’s received and checked

• Those with the best experience invited for in an interview

• Employ the person who has the most experience and you like the most

As an interviewer, you unknowingly filter the candidate to your own subconscious likes,
dislikes & prejudices. And as any top marketing expert will tell you, we make decisions
emotionally and justify them logically.

The fact is, past experience is not a very good indicator of future performance but past
behaviour IS. There are many people in the workforce who are well qualified but do not
actually like what they do. Add to this their personality, which may cause problems with
existing staff.

There is a better way that will dramatically increase your chances of making the right
choice first time.

What you are looking for is evidence of not only qualifications and experience but also
behaviours that will suit the position. Doing this in as objective a way as possible can
make the recruitment process much more predictable and successful.
