How to Improve Organization Hiring Process?




You can't afford to hire the wrong people for your company. You'll lose money, time, and customers if you choose the wrong candidate. However, a good hiring process will assist you in attracting and retaining excellent employees.




What is the hiring process?

This is a step-by-step method for Finding, Selecting, and Recruiting the best new employees. Every company will have unique elements to its process, but generally, recruitment steps will be the same across similar industries.

Recruitment / Hiring is the process of searching the candidates for employment and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization (Biswas, 2012).

Steps in the hiring process.

When it comes to hiring, there are usually three stages. These are the following:

Figure 01 (Hiring Process Steps)

  1. HR Planning: This is very much an internal process where leaders decide how many employees they need to hire, and what qualifications and skillset they must have. It’s important to align these needs with the number of suitable candidates available in the labor market.

  2. Recruitment: The company reaches out to available candidates in a variety of ways – internal recommendations and referrals, job boards, social media, a talent pipeline, advertisements, and recruitment fairs. Responding candidates are then screened for suitability, successful ones are interviewed and assessed, and references checked.

  3. Selection: Following assessment and interview, the most suitable candidate is offered the job.
It’s essential that you offer an impeccable Candidate Experience throughout your hiring process. As well as the feel-good factor, it enhances your employer's brand and builds up a healthy talent pipeline of people who want to work for your company when opportunities arise.

The benefits of getting your hiring process right.

Ideally, your hiring process should result in competent employees who fit your company's culture and stay to grow and advance within the company. The following are some other advantages:

  • Saving Money: It’s expensive to hire a new worker, and you really don’t want to double the cost by choosing the wrong person and then having to rehire.

  • Saving Time: It takes around 24 days’ work for managers to recruit a new employee; time that would be better spent on productive work rather than recruitment.

  • Damage Limitation: The wrong hire will, at best, jar negatively with colleagues, or not be particularly good at the job; at worst they may be a safety risk or cause financial or reputation damage to your brand. Hire right, and good people will enhance your business, not tarnish it.

  • Catching the Best People: You won’t have a feeling of regret that you let a better candidate go in favor of the one who didn’t work out – because you hired the best.
  • Training Effectiveness: It’s expensive and time-consuming to train new people. It’s money and effort well spent when the right employees stay with you, but demoralizing when a wrong hire leaves after training and you have to start all over again with a new hire.

  • Security: Employees need a certain amount of access to confidential information, systems, data, patents, accounting, passwords, etc. to do their jobs effectively. When a wrong hire leaves suddenly, they potentially take all this information with them.

Another important point is that the selection of a candidate may be unfair based on the management's likes and dislikes, which can lead to promoting not the most suitable applicant, resulting in insufficient efficiency and disgruntlement across the company (Sarma, 2008).

Definitions of Human Resource Management

Human Resource Management (HRM) is concerned with the "people" aspect of management. Because every organization is made up of people, acquiring their services, developing their skills, motivating them to perform at a high level, and ensuring that they maintain their commitment to the organization are all critical to achieving organizational goals.
