The Ten Best Practices for Hiring Top Performers – August 2011
By Spiro Steriotis
Most executives dread the hiring process.
“It was difficult to make time for it,” said one Hotel General Manager.
“The interviewing process was cumbersome and in the end I still felt as if I was making a huge gamble as to whether the candidates were any good.”
One of the cruel ironies of hiring employees is that the grind of your daily responsibilities often keeps staffing from being a priority until you are already short staffed. Unfortunately, rushing the hiring process creates even more time-consuming management problems. Furthermore, in your desperation to fill an empty desk, you may hire the wrong person and cost your firm even more productivity.
In my 20 years of experience working as a Hotel Manager and Search Consultant, I have found that following these 10 steps will significantly improve your hiring results.
