How to Put the Right Employee on Your Company's Payroll?

For every organization, finding reliable employees (and retaining them) is a growing challenge. Without a doubt, having a highly-skilled staff is valuable for any company but not many companies have the appropriate resources to appeal to the candidates with the right credentials. So how do you hire them? And when you do, how do you retain them?

Qualifications

The process of HR recruiting in Boston starts with you brainstorming the responsibilities your new employee needs to fulfill. For this, you should pay attention to the practical skills as well as their personality traits that will work well with your business culture. You may also need to consider their experience in the industry. It is common sense, but you’d be surprised by how often employers turn a blind eye to experience when hiring.

Job advertising

Now, you need to market your job opening in a way that potential applicants find it attractive. For this, you can highlight your company’s feats so far, your mission statement, the perks of earning one's living with you, etc. When creating a job ad, you would want to be as specific about your needs as you possibly can. The more specific you are, the more likely it is that you will find an employee who can do the job effectively.

Budgeting

You cannot bargain for an employee with fancy credentials, a decent work experience and a personality suited for your business culture if you’re on a tight budget. If you can find someone who is smart and has a good work ethic, it hardly means anything if they have the credentials to back their skills up. They can learn on the job and gain valuable work experience and you can pay them less while they do. It’s a win-win for both parties.

Create a comfortable work environment

Once you have found the perfect fit for your company, you need to make sure that the newly hired stays in your company. For this, you need to make him/her feel at ease. The more comfortable your new employee feels, the better your chances of holding onto them. You can also consider offering commissions and bonuses to keep them motivated to move forward.

As you can see, the hiring process requires your in-house HR department to invest a considerable amount of time and effort, considering your company has an in-house HR department in the first place. One option that would ensure better hiring and won’t drain your time or money is employing a professional HR staffing agency. The value they provide will more than makes up for the cost of hiring them.
