Gary's 5 steps to Success in Hiring
Step 1: Recruiting
- Employers are having trouble finding quality, top-notch employees, and the labor market is going to stay tight.
- Gary noticed that his problem came when he started hiring people to fill a spot instead of filling a spot by hiring the right person.
- Employers should recruit online.
- It is important to think like the talent you want to attract.
- What are unique ways you can recruit new people?
- Share job postings on your personal pages, your business pages, and your employee's pages to reach more people.
- When recruiting, have your current employees do referrals.
Step 2: Interviewing
- Be a better interviewer when interviewing potential new hires.
- Ask about competencies and skills, not emotions.
- Use behavior-based interview questions.
- Have an automated system in place that sends an email reply when someone applies to your job postings.
- In your applications and interviews, ask for three references to attest to your applicant's skills.
- Doing phone interviews and fewer interviews can help free up your time so that interviews do not take up so many resources.
Step 3: Hiring
- When we hire on skill over emotion, we get better results.
- Bad hires cost businesses time and money.
- Gary's Success in Hiring program can help develop your hiring filter in which an average is found between your ideal candidate and your worst candidate.
Step 4: Onboarding
- If you don't have a good onboarding process, your new hire will start looking for a new job.
- Create engagement and make sure your employees are present.
- Gary suggests 9 ways to successfully onboard:
- Have a positive and strong culture.
- Prepare co-workers for the new hire.
- Set new hires up for success.
- Have HR take the new hire around the office and introduce them to everyone.
- Take your new hire to lunch.
- Have an employee onboarding checklist.
- Assign your new hire a mentor.
- Follow up with your new hire and adjust frequently.
- Have your new hire give you feedback.
Step 5: Coaching
- Do your manager manage or do they lead?
- Leadership roles affect employees' engagement.
- You have to build trust but also create accountability.
