Golden rules for selecting candidates

The first impression of the applicant, of course, plays a large role, but the basic rules for finding candidates for a vacant position contain clear methods for selecting personnel, which are primarily useful for the HR manager to take into account.

1. Determine the number of vacancies that will meet the strategic requirements for the successful development of your business.
2. For each vacancy, indicate the specific position and the degree of responsibility of the employed employee, duties, tasks, and prepare instructions for their implementation.
3. Decide how you will search for candidates, use several methods, including non-standard ones.
4. Choose which recruitment and selection methods you intend to use and inform applicants about them: a preliminary interview with the candidate by phone, filling out a questionnaire, and a CV.
5. Master the skill of secondary selection. After the questionnaires and resumes reviewed, conduct a personal interview and testing of the applicant.
6. The following is a decision to hire a new employee and sign an agreement with him.
7. The last point is the development of a program to adapt a newly hired employee and its successful implementation.

As you can see, the main personnel selection methods imply a thorough preparation for the interview not only of the applicant, but also of the employer himself, but a carefully planned search for applicants significantly reduces the risk of hiring the wrong specialist.
