“Become a Master Of Hiring” with business coach Heather Marquez

About this Event: Become a Master of Hiring One of the most important things to consider before beginning your search for that perfect candidate is truly knowing what you are looking for. Not familiarizing yourself with the position before you begin your hiring process could mean you end up hiring someone you like, but not right for the position, or maybe they are right for the position, but not a good fit for your company. Here are two things to consider before you start your search for the ideal candidate: -Identify at least five behavioral traits you are looking for in your candidate -Consider the skills they will need to perform the job When you are ready to craft that perfect job posting, remember that you are essentially creating an ad, so sell your business as the great place that it is. Your objective is to get people excited about applying for the open position. Many job postings leave out crucial information about their company, and they end up with applicants who are looking for work, versus people enthusiastic about what you do. Start broad and then funnel the ad to the specifics of the job, like skills and requirements. This will narrow the field and filter your candidates down to those not only interested in the position, but also those who are the best qualified. Once you start receiving resumes, narrow the resumes down to your top candidates using these tips: -Eliminate candidates that do not meet the minimum requirements. -Eliminate candidates that meet requirements, but that does not seem a good fit for your company.
