Best Hiring Practices While Unemployment Is at an All-Time High

With unemployment at an all-time high, chances are you're having no problem getting candidates to apply to your job ad. This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

Good thing: You're able to get candidates in the funnel with little to no effort which gives you a huge pool of candidates to choose from.

Bad thing: Sucky candidates (who interview well) will be in that funnel too which will keep you in the hiring wheel of death. Hiring, firing, hiring, ....you get the gist.

...but don't freak out. I have a better way and some best practices that will get you out of the endless cycle, and we're discussing them here.

Takeaways:

• A five-step hiring process that helps you predict your candidate's success before they make it to your payroll.
• A tool that helps you weed out the candidates who suck from the ones who don't.
• The criteria your candidate should meet before you hire them.
• What to look for during the job interview that will determine if they will succeed.
• How to shorten the ramp-up time and set them up for success.
• ...and wait, there's more! (*in my infomercial voice*)
