Securing the right talent - Hasson Associates

Here are our top tips for finding and securing the best people to fill your openings:

Think about the culture you want and use that as an objective.
Prepare a job brief. Keep it brief and separate the ‘essential’ experience and skills you require from the ‘desirable’.
Ensure your interviewer is prepared and has read the candidate’s CV. For consistency, you may want the same person to do all first interviews.
On interview day, make sure everyone knows a candidate is coming. First impressions matter and involving others can produce sharp insights.
Give and take feedback to and from your recruitment consultancy – it helps all parties.
Don’t leave it too long between first and second interview.
Where possible, get potential recruits to meet their would-be colleagues.
Make the offer you feel is fair to both the candidate and you. Give a deadline by which you need a decision, so you can plan ahead.
Use your recruitment consultancy to check in with your new member of the team and make sure they’re setting in happily.
