So, your organization has cleared the initial hurdle and has made a mark in the market. You are now amongst the upcoming start-ups who have a promising career ahead. People have already started appreciating your products and services and you have become a household name. You have already shown superior quality in your offerings and are working hard to maintain the same. Now what should be your next move to attain greater heights?  Well, it’s quite simple to answer this question. Ideally, your next step should be to hire the best talent for your organization. The role of employees for any company is vital and cannot be ignored. The success and growth of the organization depends heavily on the people working there. Efficient and dedicated work-force leads to better results for a company whereas unproductive labour only increases the cost to company as well as lowers down the overall performance to a great extent. Thus, the performance curve of a company depends hugely on the performance of its employees. Hence, companies should develop a sustainable as well as profit generating performance metrics that can enable growth.

However, before deciding on the measurement of performance of each worker, one needs to hire people who are skilled as well as sincere, as it is popularly said that your attitude is more important than your aptitude. Thus, companies should not just look at the fancy degrees and desired skill set (which of course is important), but should also find out people who will be a dedicated resource for the company. People who will work with utmost sincerity and will leave no stone unturned to ensure the growth of the company.

It is quite a tricky job to select the best people from the pool of many job-seekers. It is not that easy to find the skilled talent when so many people have applied for the same job opening. Then what should a recruiter do in such a situation? What should be their strategy to hire best workforce for their company?

Following are some of the steps that recruiters can follow while going for a recruitment drive. Take a look:

PROMOTE THE JOB VACANCY: 

Just like you have been promoting your company’s offerings; products or services, in a similar manner promote the job vacancy so that more and more people get to know about your job offer and hence maximum people can apply for the same. You can publish job vacancy advertisement in newspaper to make such announcements. Place an advert in the leading national dailies if you are looking for candidates from across the country. However, if you want a local candidate for your job offering, then a regional paper or a vernacular will help you better in this regard. Recruitment ads in newspaper fetch a larger pool of candidates than an online advert.

RECRUIT IN STAGES: 

It is always better to carry on the recruitment drive in stages so that you do not miss out the best candidates due to time crunch. If you are going for a mass recruitment for your company, then hiring should be done in stages or rounds so that you have enough time to shortlist the people after the first round.

LOOK FOR BOTH ATTITUDE AND APTITUDE: 

As already mentioned, you should look out for people who have the balance of both i.e. attitude as well as aptitude as no one trait will help a candidate as well as the organization in the long run. So, look for both the qualities while hiring.

HIRE LEADERS INSTEAD OF WORKERS: 

Though, every job vacancy doesn’t need leadership skills, but selecting a candidate who can take independent decisions and can sail smoothly during crisis is certainly an asset. Find people who can take tough decisions that go in favour of the company during extreme situations.

So, now that you know how to select the best candidate, do not wait any longer and start looking out for the efficient talent for your company.
