3 common mistakes in the recruitment and selection process:
It is important that the recruitment and selection process is led by a trained and capable Human Resource (HR) department. Both a plan and a strategy are needed beforehand, and they should be focused on finding the best talent out there. No company can compete in a market without a skilled and solid human capital. The following are some of the most common recruitment mistakes:
- Comparing the current and former staff:
It is very common, but also very serious, to try to find similarities between the incoming and outgoing staff. Rather than helping the new personnel succeed, these comparisons might only result in higher employee turnover.
- Neglecting your employees:
It is important to know the value and abilities of each of your current employees before starting a new recruitment process. You might realize that they are just as capable of carrying out the duties of the vacancies you are trying to fill. Not only will this result in a positive performance by the company, but it will also contribute to your employees’ professional growth, as well as their sense of belonging and appreciation.
- Offering unrealistic expectations of professional growth:
Candidates have the right to know the working conditions they are being offered. Recruiters should be honest from the beginning. Transparency about salaries, activities, and prospects for professional growth is key.
