The Importance of Effective Hiring Processes
When the economy slides, slowdown bites, and corporate India bleeds jobs, it might seem untimely to discuss hiring processes and the skills that managers should possess to recruit the right individuals and reduce attrition. However, is there ever a perfect time to learn and upgrade skills that aid in identifying talent and bringing on board new hires?
It is crucial to reassess hiring and selection processes and refine interviewing skills, especially when organizations tend to overlook establishing and maintaining an effective recruitment process during rapid business growth. Often, recruitment is delegated to relatively junior HR personnel lacking adequate interviewing skills, leading to incorrect hires or heavy reliance on search firms. This can result in mistakes at various recruitment and selection stages, ultimately causing unexpected attrition due to wrong hiring decisions. Many people management and productivity issues within organizations stem from improper hiring practices.
While many HR managers develop their interview styles based on a mix of instinct and techniques learned during their own interviews, studies suggest that adopting a structured approach to interviewing is most effective in distinguishing suitable candidates. In times of change, hiring practices have been redefined, emphasizing that interviewing is a skill that can be honed and improved. Successful talent acquisition and development hinge on managers possessing excellent interviewing skills supported by an effective hiring process.
The Business Manager cover feature of Oct. 2013 provides practical insights from experienced professionals in this field, offering specifics on the process, highlighting common pitfalls, dispelling myths, and suggesting ways to overcome obstacles in selecting the right candidates for an organization.
