You are not hiring the resume … you’re hiring a person who possesses the skills, education, and other attributes required to be a successful cultural fit for the job. Incorporate objectivity into your hiring process by starting the conversation with team members before you post an ad. Be sure to include in your discussions thoughts, concerns, and resolutions for onboarding, key elements required for company success (don’t simply replicate an old position description), how to correctly use qualified assessment tools, and what is required to create ads designed to attract the right candidates. It will be time well-spent, saving countless dollars and hours.
