Ensure you have the budget and authorisation before beginning the recruitment process.

Consider clearly the person you require. What personality, product skills, and job skills the person should have. Liaise with your colleagues if appropriate.
|
 |
Create a clear job spec, detailing the role, the qualities required and remuneration.
|
 |
Prepare a compelling presentation on your company. Remember is very difficult to recruit great people and the competition is tremendous.
|
 |
Brief no more than three relevant recruitment consultancies and network with your colleagues.
|
 |
Don't hire friends or too many old colleagues.
|
 |
Prepare for the interview.
|
 |
If possible read the candidates CV prior to the meeting.
|
 |
Kick off the interview on time.
|
 |
Be honest and courteous.
|
 |
Whilst you must qualify every candidate rigorously, and it is time consuming, ensure the recruitment process is as swift as possible.
|
 |
If the candidate is successful, establish what 'the market' is paying. Don't overpay or underpay.
|
 |
Try to get other relevant people involved in the interview to qualify and sell your company to the applicant.  |
