Finding the right employee for your business can be tough and whoever you choose you will always be a gamble, however small it might be.
At West Riding Recruitment, we have helped many Wakefield based businesses recruit people for new available job roles. Whilst there is no specific formula that you can always use, below we have listed a few methods which might help you whilst you are interviewing.
Competency
This has to be the most important thing you look for. Can the person you are interviewing do the job you want them to do with the skills they have?
Capability
As well as competency, is the employee capable of future growth and taking on works that fall slightly outside the current job role. You want to get an employee that can grow too.
Like-Minded
Is this employee going to get along with your current team? You don’t want to bring in someone who then rocks the boat and cause more problems than they are worth. This is often a tricky one as you have to take a gamble based on just a few hours (potentially) with them.
Dedication
This changes depending on the type of job you are recruiting for, but will they be committed to your company or are they using it as a stepping stone to future success? Checkout their previous career history to see how much job hopping they do.
Mettle
The character of the person is important and insuring it aligns with your strategy as a business is important. Can you trust them to do work and do they have the character to match others in your business?
If you stick to these things and look at other things which might impress you, you should be able to find the right employees to benefit your business rather than hinder them.
