Are you wondering how to hire the right person<\/a>? What kind of person does your company need to succeed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A critical element of team building is hiring the right people<\/a>. According to Julie Zhuo in The Making of a Manager<\/em>, building a successful team<\/a> will help empower your company’s vision<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, you’ll learn the key to hiring people that are fit for your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Hiring the Right People<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Zhuo says great managers consistently hire people with the skills and commitment the team needs to advance company objectives<\/strong>. As the manager, it\u2019s ultimately up to you<\/em> to build a winning team<\/a>, even if you have other staff members helping you. Therefore, it\u2019s important to have a reliable process in place. Let\u2019s first look at how to hire the right person<\/a> by identifying and interviewing candidates<\/a>. Then, we\u2019ll cover the steps for evaluating and selecting candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: The financial impact bad hires<\/em> can have for a business underscores Zhuo\u2019s emphasis on the importance of hiring well. According to research, a bad hire can cost a company up to 30% of the employee\u2019s annual wages<\/a> in added expenses (extra training, additional supervision time, and so on). Therefore, if an employee earns $80,000 per year, your company\u2019s added expense might be $24,000: Research shows that managers have to spend 17% of their time supervising poorly-performing employees, which equates to nearly a full wasted day per week that could be spent on more productive tasks.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Identify and Interview Candidates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Zhuo recommends making a hiring plan<\/a>: a list of roles you need to fill over the next year based on your company\u2019s goals and vision as well as deficiencies among your current team. A one-year hiring plan will help you clarify the skills and experiences you\u2019ll need future team members to have and when you\u2019ll need to have those positions filled.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you start your hiring efforts, Zhuo recommends these steps to find and interview candidates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #1: Create a clear job description<\/a><\/strong>. Clarify core job duties, and be specific about the skills, experiences, and qualities you need. For example, if you need a project manager who\u2019s detail-oriented and<\/em> great at calmly navigating difficult conversations with strong personalities,  be sure you note that preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #2: Decide where you\u2019ll look for candidates<\/strong>. Zhuo recommends asking colleagues for recommendations before looking anywhere else. If none of their suggestions work out, you now have an idea of what kind of person to look for elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #3: Prepare a template of interview questions<\/strong>. Be clear about what you want to learn, and use the same questions for each candidate interviewing for a single role. As Zhuo says, this helps you compare candidates based on the quality of their answers rather than subjective impressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #4: Invite colleagues to help you conduct interviews.<\/strong> According to Zhuo, this can diminish bias that often interferes when only one person is involved and can help you catch warning signs you might overlook if you\u2019re on your own\u2014for example, a candidate who won\u2019t make eye contact with female interviewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #5: Conduct memorable interviews<\/strong>. Avoid distractions and devote your attention to candidates so they know you consider them a priority. Also (if you think they\u2019re likely to be a good hire), describe the difference you see they\u2019ll make when they\u2019re on your team, and tell them how excited you are to welcome them to the company. As Zhuo says, you need to make sure candidates see your company as an attractive place to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Evaluate and Select Candidates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After you\u2019ve interviewed candidates, how do you decide who to hire? Zhuo suggests you take these steps to hire the right person:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #1: Review work they\u2019ve done in the past<\/strong>. Evaluate a few projects they\u2019ve completed that are similar to the work they\u2019ll be expected to do at your company. According to Zhuo, this will give you a clear sense of their skills and ability to problem solve. It\u2019ll also help you forecast how they\u2019ll perform in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #2: Ask trusted peers for input<\/strong>. Zhuo says you likely won\u2019t get useful input from references a candidate furnishes. Instead, seek input from colleagues and peers in your professional network who\u2019ll give you an honest assessment of candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #3: Go with candidates who excite you<\/strong>. Even if a candidate has the needed skills and qualities, don\u2019t choose them just because they could<\/em> fit. Zhuo says to always give preference to candidates who spark enthusiasm in at least one interviewer. Candidates are more likely to add high value to your team when they stand out as unique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #4: Prioritize diverse candidates<\/strong>. Hire candidates who have varied work and life experiences and who represent diverse races, genders, cultural backgrounds, and sexual orientations. Zhuo says diverse teams generate more creative ideas, solve problems more effectively, and produce superior outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #5: Choose people who have the potential to contribute beyond their designated role<\/strong>. Prepare for future growth by hiring candidates who are equipped to deliver more than you need immediately. For example, even if a frontline sales role doesn\u2019t include supervisory responsibilities now<\/em>, Zhuo says it\u2019s wise to give an edge to candidates who have relevant sales experience and<\/em> supervising experience. They\u2019ll be able to step into bigger roles as your team grows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
