Who Let Crazy In?!

Is an inconsistent hiring process allowing bad or crazy employees to get in? To prevent bad hires, it’s important to be consistent with your hiring process. Here is a sample hiring process to guide you in making your own standardized hiring process.

1) Write a job description
- Be as specific as possible with hours, salary, complete job functions, PTO, on call and anything else important about the job. The more specific the better.

2) Pre-screen potential candidates over the phone
- Start the hiring process with a quick “get-to-know-you” phone call. Your objective here is to mainly listen and ask a few questions. It’s a great way to weed out the crazies and sniff out the winners. This initial phone will also give you a chance to determine the candidate’s experience level, credentials and licensing. 

3) Do they “light up” about the position?
- The in-depth interview will give you a chance to assess their personality, relevant skills learned, and motivations for applying for the position. Do they light up when they talk about the position? If they’re just looking for a paycheck, they’ll never be satisfied with any position. 

4) DISC personality test
- Certain personalities may thrive in one work environment but struggle greatly in another. Taking a personality test will determine whether or not the candidate will fit best in the specific position they are interested in.

5) Reference Check
- How do the candidate’s supervisors and co-workers describe his or her work ethic and relevant skills?

6) Extensive background check
- Be very thorough in your background checks and use a professional agency if possible.

7) Make an offer
- Your work is finished. The ball is now in the candidate’s court!
