Finding a right person can take you places! Read out the following hiring mistakes that can cost you loads just in case you attempt to hire wrong!
If you thought spending time into screening resumes and interviewing candidates is a heavy load of task then just screen out the following amount of losses for bearing with the wrong hiring decisions of the HR.
Cultural issues: Every organization has a culture that it can boast of but the culture of the organization goes for a toss when wrong people are hired. For instance, we talk of an organization where the employees are laid back and over relaxed. A new boss is then hired in the company who is proactive and extra energetic which may be a serious issue of cultural clash. A second example to this is that an organization has a staff culture of being super active while the boss who is hired then is a decision maker with slow and steady formula. Do you think the cultural integration would be facile there? Definitely, no. Thus, do conduct psychometric tests of the candidates and exploring the behavioural dynamics of the candidate when hiring them.
Focus on Performance: The job of monitoring your employees is ticked off when you find that they are diligent and know their task. You just need to focus on business strategies than looking onto them whether they are doing the work or not.
Cost of Bad Experience: No one that I ever met had wanted a bad experience for themselves. Then why do you want to record a negative episode in your memory? Casual hiring decisions can not only damage your customers’ emotions and thus the business in total and incur bad experience fir team.
Unbranding: All organizations whether big or small focus on increasing the brand worth of their organization but if a person is hired who is ignorant of the customers’ habits and cultures and happens to interact with them that may not only lose upon the fluidity of the business but also create a scar in the minds of the customers who further act as patrons and brand builders for the organization.
