Choosing a new team member is always hard, and not only because of the current situation on the job market. You need someone who fits the team on a personal level, shares the same values as your company and, at the same time, brings a fresh viewpoint to the team. Here are five steps to take in order to ensure you choose the right people for your team.
These tips were published by Forbes.
First of all, you must clarify for yourself who in fact you are looking for and what the key priorities and values of your team are. Only when you have answered these questions for yourself can you communicate the information in your job ad and interactions with candidates.
It makes no sense to sugarcoat the given position. If you "sell" the candidate something that is not as perfect as you portray it, they will only be disappointed later and might even leave quite quickly.
Do not underestimate the importance of the candidate's personality. It is important that the candidate is a fit to the team.
A good way to introduce a candidate to the vacancy is to define the five most important tasks the person performs and then describe these tasks in detail to the candidate.
The best way to ensure the candidate will really fit in is to give other members of the existing team the opportunity to express themselves about the candidates and help you decide which is the right one.
