Recruitment tips
 
Your employees are your most valuable asset and also your most expensive asset. A great employee will make your business and add value to it. An employee who does not perform can cost your business financially and emotionally.
The best way to recruit successfully is to follow a set outline. Each new employee will bring something different to your business. Make sure it is something positive. Over the next few issues we will discuss a small selection of tips you should consider.
Recruitment Tip One
Know what you want
Before you begin looking for that new employee ensure that you know what you want. Consider your business needs. Think of the big picture and ask yourself a few questions.
• What specific skills are needed to fulfill the position?
• What skills can be taught/learnt?
• What type of personality will complement the existing staff?
• Look at your existing staff and decide what will keep the productive balance you have.
• What could an employee bring to the business that would add value?
After you have decided upon the skills and attributes that will best fit your business and existing team you will be able to create a job description and person specification and draft an employment contract.
