Successful hiring of staff is the key to the prosperity of a company

Recently, the hiring of staff has become particularly relevant. In some, this can cause surprise. After all, outside the crisis and many businesses are on the verge of survival. Where can I think of expanding the staff or updating my team. But in fact, hiring staff is best done in a difficult period. Yes, yes, it is when the crisis comes, that many talented specialists are on the labor market. This is because some companies can not cope with the difficulties and are ruined, and some panic and reduce staff, thereby making someone a good gift for the upcoming New Year.

The factories need machines, and business needs skilled personnel. People are the most valuable asset. The Japanese have long understood this and this is one of the reasons why the economy of this country occupies such a high place. For any firm, it's fair to say that hiring staff is the key to success.

The main indicator in the field of personnel management has always been and remains KPI - the amount of profit, which falls on one employee firm. All the rest is secondary. It is worth comparing this indicator of its firm with its competitors and it will immediately become clear where personnel management is more efficient. Sometimes this difference is quite significant.

So, how do you find in the labor market those applicants who in the near future will turn into the best employees?

First you need to find as many potential candidates as possible so that there are no problems with the choice. Here are the main sources of recruitment:

• Advertisements in the media;
• Involve those candidates who themselves post their CV;
• Search among friends, acquaintances, relatives;
• "Head-hunting";
• recruitment agencies.

Each method is good in its own way, but, perhaps, the most effective of them is the publication of vacancies and selection among potential candidates.

The first stage, from which you should start hiring staff, is a clear understanding of what kind of person you need. It is necessary to describe in as much detail all the requirements for the post and the functional duties. Then, come up with an attractive ad that will be advantageous to differ from the background of other firms wishing to find employees. In this case, you should not spare time, you should cover as much media as possible. This, of course, will bring certain costs, but bad employees - it's much worse.

At the next stage, they collect the resume, and after they are typed enough, they begin to make a preliminary selection. After this, it will be a good idea to organize a contest for the remaining contenders. Many companies do not do this and prefer to simply conduct an interview, and then decide on a candidate for the position. In this case, it's easy to make a mistake. After all, a person can think of himself anything and be able to convince others of it. But can he solve the tasks assigned to him? Just a contest or a business game will help to test this in practice.

Evaluation of the results of the competition should depend on the future manager of the employee, HR specialist, and other managers, that is, the commission. This will make the assessment objective, and your company - more representative in the eyes of the applicant.

After the choice is made, the employee is told about the system of motivation, conditions of probation, future duties. When it comes to the size of the salary, it is worth remembering one interesting axiom: as a rule, the one who determines the level of payment always loses. Therefore, in the beginning they try to find out the candidate's expectations either in the questionnaire or during a conversation.

The last stage, which ends with the hiring of staff - is the adaptation and passing of the probation period. It is important to make this process as smooth as possible. After all, it will be insulting to part with that employee who was searched for so long.

The novice must be trained and well, if he has a mentor. The results of his work must be constantly monitored and, if necessary, helped to correct mistakes.
