Look At Skills and Personality When HiringAkron Beacon Journal
April 21, 2007
Employers, your inbox is flooded with resumes from eager new graduates, so how do you hire the right one? Or at least avoid hiring the wrong one?
Most importantly, know what kind of personality and skills you need. You might be tempted to hire the smooth talker, but the quiet, meek candidate might be better suited to the position, said Ruth Haag, author of Hiring and Firing.
Read resumes carefully to weed out weak candidates. For example, if you've had to fire graduates from a certain school or training institution in the past, don't hire another one, Haag said.
No matter how honed your screening process, you might still have to hand out a pink slip.
Be sure you did everything possible to help the employee succeed, such as provide proper training and equipment.
