Making the Hiring Decision
,Now that you have taken the time to plan and conduct a thorough interviewing process, you are ready to make the selection decision. Because you have carefully analyzed the job, you will be able to screen out unqualified applicants quickly and select from the most qualified candidates.
Even with the extensive data you have, you may find it difficult to decide among the top two or three candidates. You may want to go through a rating and ranking process, assigning numerical measurements so you can “add up” the qualifications of each candidate and select the candidate with the highest rating.
1. Ask some additional questions to make the final decision.
Interviewing and hiring the right candidate is a challenging and time-consuming activity. At times you may be tempted to make a quick selection just to get someone “on board” quickly, even though you may have some apprehensions. Based on some painful previous experiences when we made some hasty decisions, we know that the more time you spend in the selection process, the higher your level of success. Further, the time spent in searching for the right person is insignificant compared to the time spent trying to rid yourself of a “wrongful hire!” Commit to taking all stages of the interview and selection process seriously so that you consistently hire “winners” for your team.
