Re: A serious problem Hi
before appointing, do ..
reference checks of the candidate;
ask him/her questions about HR...what you mean by sourcing candidates, or how would you interview a senior level person etc etc (sort of HR related qs);
give some situations in office - peer conflicts, union issues, employee engagement issues, ask the candidate to give practical solutions for the above issues, ask what would he/she have done in such senario. by the answers you can easily judge if the person has past experience, has handled HR matters/issues, is confident and capable person;
take written test , simple one, ask him/her to define certain HR definitions, ask what things and questions would he/she ask in an interview, ask what is a recruitment process, what do you mean by HR - Generalist role etc.
Hope you are understanding what i am tring to highlight in the above comments.
In the interview, you can judge by the answers given, confidence, body language of the candidate. one can make a very catchy resume, making us to believe it, interview process will reveal all.
what do you think?
let me know.
