Avoiding Costly Hiring Mistakes

There are differing opinions out there as to how much hiring the wrong person could cost a company. We’ve heard everything from $20K to 6 month’s salary. Regardless it is EXPENSIVE. But it’s not just the monetary cost to the organization; there is also the disruption to operations and the potential for damaging team morale.
Here are six BRIOS recommendations to help you avoid a hiring mistake: 

Clear Job Descriptions
Make sure your job description is accurate, clearly defined and up to date so that a candidate can determine if the role is right for them.

Previous Mistakes
Learn from previous mistakes and avoid repeating them. Ask yourself why was the last person not a good fit for the job, or why did they leave? Did you provide adequate training?

Salary Assessment
Use award rates as a guide but get informed on market rates to be competitive. You can use salary surveys services of BRIOS, job boards and candidate salary requests as an indicator to what the market is commanding.

Employee Advantages
Sell your advantages. It doesn’t matter if you are a small company or a large corporate, there are advantages. For example, a small organization can offer experience and skills across a broad spectrum of operations while a larger organization can offer a career path. Both are advantages to a candidate based on what they are looking for.

Paint a Realistic Picture
Don’t’ sugar coat or misrepresent the job and lead the candidate up the garden path. Paint a realistic picture of your organization and some of the challenges to the role.

Look Within
Before you advertise, consider candidates from within the organization. Employees can become demotivated if they feel they have been overlooked and have no career path. If you look externally to recruit, make sure you take the time to explain why.

Choosing the right people to bring on board is one of the most crucial decisions you will make for your business. These tips can help you find people who will perform better and stay longer with your organization. 

BRIOS knows the challenges that can come with finding the right employee and can work with you to determine who would be the best fit for your organization. If you need assistance selecting your next employee email us at contact@brios.co.in

What are the most frequently asked Behavioral Interview Questions? Behavioral interview questions are a big part of most job interviews. Employers and hiring managers use these types of questions in order to get an idea if you have the skills and competencies needed for the job. The rationale is that if they know how you performed in the past it will help give a sense of how you might do in the future. For you as the candidate, you’ll need to prepare answers (basically “interview stories”) that highlight the different competencies and skill sets the employer is looking for. The problem is most candidates might have a general idea of how to answer these questions, but the answers usually come out way too long and unfocused, and won’t put the candidate in the best light. That’s why you’ll need to make a concerted effort to create these stories and adapt them to the relevant competencies. Below is a list of some common behavioral...
