Hiring Tips for HR

Hiring good employees is a challenge for every business, and especially the Human Resource Management team.  In our latest article we provide five Hiring Tips for HR.

#1 – Read the resume – HR should really review the resume without falling in a trap of overlooking obvious mistakes or gaps in employment

#2 – Use The Interview – whether phone or in person, document questions ahead of time and ensure it has structure

#3 – Look for good fit – make sure the employee has the attitude that will work well within the existing team

#4 – HRMS – use your HR Management Software to document and track your applicants’ movement through the recruiting funnel

#5 – Know ahead of time the costs and salary ranges for the position

As the ‘gate keeper’ for new employees entering the recruitment funnel, is it fair that HR determines which applications move on to management? Or should the front line management team have access to all the resumes?  What do you think?
