You need to hire someone NOW… but the time you take up front to hire smart will save you time and money later on. Why? Employee turnover costs you plenty! Experts at the Families and Work Institute estimates that it will cost about 75% of  non-managerial worker’s annual salary to replace him/her and 150% of a manager’s annual salary.

Granted, it is challenging to find the right person that will not only fit in with your team in the present, but will grow with your company into the future. There is not a single, magic answer that will guarantee success for each and every hire. However, if you take time and develop a process, your success rate will improve.

• Have a powerful and meaningful story to build a strong employer brand
• Know how you and your company are viewed in the community and your field
• Your actions and what the candidates observe will speak louder than words; you need to walk your talk
• The little things count!  
• Plan your interviews.
• Screen people IN.
• Listen closely- get into the candidates head.
