Selecting the Right Person For the Job and Your Company
After the interviews are completed and you have verified references and experience, take some time to discuss the pros and cons of each applicant. Take especial note of personal impressions about how well each applicant would fit in and be able to function within your company. After all, personality conflicts will impair your company’s productivity as much as the applicant’s qualifications.
Questions To Ask Yourself About the Applicants
Will this applicant be able to work within the organizational culture of my company?
Does the applicant have the people skills needed for the position?
Does the applicant have all of the qualifications this position requires? If not, do they have the most important qualifications?
How does this applicant compare to other applicants?
Score your answers to each of these questions and then compare applicant scores. This process should help you determine which applicant is the right candidate for both the position and for your company.
