Create a good Job description
It is essential to create a good job description that will enable the job candidate understand what the organization requires, it is quite important to define the roles that the candidates will understand, and also a clear role will enable the organization to delegate role.
Minimum Requirements = High Requirement
Ensure that the minimum requirement which you have set is over the average requirement for the job, this will enable you get the best person for that job, first analyse the role(s) that you want from the vacant position, and detail these roles on the job description, this will ensure that the job role is properly identified by the candidate.
Get People that are willing to work
you should determine the willingness of the candidates to work, some people are just keen on making money for their needs, while some are passionate about the job you want to give them, you should ensure that you get the best worker that is willing to do the job, this might even boost the morale of the other workers.
Ask Random Questions
when you are interviewing your candidates, most of them are already prepared and expect you to ask some questions like 'what is your passion?', why would you like to do this job?, ask questions that derive the answer you seek, not questions that can be intelligently answered. examples of the question you should ask is 'what do you enjoy doing the most? can you talk about yourself for five minutes? Can you you talk about the job you applied for some minutes? all these questions will enable you to know if the candidate has the passion for the job, instead of just asking the candidate if he has passion for the job.
Show Prospect About Job You are Offering
you have to show the prospective worker (if you are highly considering the candidate by now) the prospect of working with your organization, this will let the candidate have more passion and understand how the organization will,in turn, boost him/her career, this will also ensure that the candidate has the necessary morale boost.
Get Candidates From a Wider Pool
You need to get people from a wider labour pool, this will enable you to get the best of skilled workers, you need to place advertisement where prospective candidates can easily reach, this could be on your website, or media.
Study your candidates well, don't be carried away by looks, but appearance also matters, be polite to your candidates, treat them good (give them lunch or snacks, let them have access to coffee or tea), gist with them so as to know them better, but above all, believe in your judgement, cheers!!!
