It didn't take long to decide upon this month's
topic, as I've gotten a flurry of calls over the
past couple of months from business professionals
with employee problems. This month, I'm
going
to
start at the beginning, with some tips on how to hire
good ones, hope you find it useful.
You might
also want to check-out my recent blog
post
"Hiring Well" which talks about Kirk Kazanjian's
new book Exceeding Customer Expectations.
Kirk's book is about how Enterprise Rent A Car
built
their
reputation as a strong customer focused
business. Enterprise is really specific about the
qualities they look for in prospective
employees, interesting reading!

| Hiring The Right Employees: Part 1- The Job Description |
 |
|
Your business is growing. You're
crunched for time and there are far too many things to
do yourself . Your staff is overworked. But you shy
away from hiring someone new, it's hard to
find good people...
How can you
ensure that you'll hire employees who will help your
business to thrive?
It all starts with figuring out what you really need,
and asking for it, requiring it, even demanding it!
Here are some simple steps that will help you write a
job description so everyone will know
exactly what you're looking for.
- Analyze why you need this new employee
- Pinpoint what you want them to accomplish
- Identify the goals you want them to achieve
- Figure out what their tasks and responsibilities
will be
- Determine who they will report to
- Think about what kind of experience and
background they'll need
- Pinpoint the "must have" qualities or attributes
they'll need to be successful
- Determine who they'll report to
- Write a good job description detailing the
above, including the salary and benefits you're
offering
- And, let them know what is expected of them.
Creating a job description is just the first step in
hiring
the right employees.
