8 Tips for Hiring the Right Person for the Job

Focus on the candidate's potential.

Nothing is more important in a new hire than personality. While having the right skill set may seem essential, the fact is, skills can be acquired, but personalities cannot.

Check social media profiles.

Like most employers, you probably already make it a point to do a background check (including at least a quick Google search on the candidate's name) to see what comes up about that person online. But if you're not looking through the candidate's social media profiles, you could be missing a key way to find out more about the individual as a person and an employee.

Fit the personality to the job.

A candidate's personality is another really important factor to consider. You may not want a narcissistic employee tending to elderly patients in your nursing home, but it might not be a bad idea to hire one to model your new clothing line

Ask the right kinds of questions.

You can't come right out and ask someone if they're a jerk. But, you can ask questions that will help you figure it out on your own."If you ask someone why they left their last job and they blame someone else, it's important to follow up with another question," said Paul Harvey, a professor of management at the University of New Hampshire. "If they continue to blame external forces for their problems, you may want to look for another employee."

Let candidates interview you, too.

Don't be the only one to ask questions. To help determine if your prospective candidate has the right personality for your particular job, it's important to help that person understand the company's work environment."It's important to be open and honest about what it's going to be like to work for your company. You want to give a realistic preview of the work environment," Allowing prospective employees to interview you for a change will give you a chance to see what's important to them. Plus, it will give candidates a chance to determine that they want to keep pursuing a job at your company, or to decide that it's not the right fit for them — and that's just as important.

Think of your other employees.

You have a legal obligation to provide your other employees with a safe and healthy work environment. If a potential employee gives any indication that he or she could be aggressive or has an anger problem, you should find someone else.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

It's easy to write off candidates based on their appearance, but it's more important that you consider how well they can do the job and if they're a good fit in other ways."I have had the experience of hiring kids from school who were disheveled, unpresentable [and] inarticulate, [but who] had a very strong visceral commitment to what they were doing and passion for what they wanted to be," Schwarz said.

Know that not all hires work out.

You're only human, so even after following all these tips, it's entirely possible that you might still make a bad hire. If you have tried to solve whatever issues have arisen as a result of a new hire, and your attempts have failed, it's okay to let the person go. After all, you want an employee who is going to add to your company culture, not make it worse.If you do make a bad hire, Wang advised employers to cut bait and end the employment as soon as possible before investing too much time trying to fix the problems. As a small business owner, she noted, you have enough on your plate, and you don't want to add a challenging employee to your already full list of tasks.
