Hire for culture

Hire for culture, train for skill. People who share the same values and traits are much more apt to share an interest in your goals. Skill can be trained; inspiration is organic. Be on the lookout for a healthy balance of both. Learn more about hiring for culture fit.

Job Description

Create stand-out job postings. Job seekers spend 20-30 seconds reviewing posts. Be up front about your expectations and detail typical job requirements. Let candidates know what it’s like to work for your company.

Ask the Right Questions

Ask the right questions. There’s more to a great answer than a correct response. Pay attention to behavior. Follow up with requests for specific examples.

Sell Your Culture

Explain your company culture. Paint a picture of the office atmosphere in addition to stating your mission and values. Reveal your core beliefs through your website, social media, and in marketing materials.

Referrals

Tap into your employees’ networks. Career sites and job boards are helpful, but referred employees tend to report higher satisfaction than other employees. Consider the networks closest to home.

Allow Enough Time

Give you and your team enough time to vet the candidate and be confident in your hiring decision. Account for the time group interviews, skills tests, or other activities might take. Also be aware that a hiring process that drags on too long will push candidates away.
