You have to keep in mind that when it comes to running a successful business, a big part of your success depends on your people. For most businesses, this is the area that they go wrong and this is also the area in which they lose the most money because having the wrong people can be a very big financial liability for the company.

 Write detailed job descriptions

The description that you write in your vacancy advertisement also plays a role in the people that will apply for the job. If you write a vague and general description, you will find that anyone and everyone will apply but if you write detailed requirements, this will reduce the number of people that will apply because they will not have the qualifications and the qualities that you have asked for. Another thing to remember as an employer is that you have to use social media to your advantage. This means that you have to look the people up on social media because what they say and do on their social media pages will tell you exactly what kind of people they are. A hiring software will short list candidates according to their qualifications and the key words on the resume but even if the person has every qualification and all the experience, you do not want to hire a person that uses bad language, bullies people, starts fights and does bad things and this will usually be exposed when you go on social media and do a search of their names.

 This is part of the staff recruitment process that a lot of companies miss out on doing and this is a very important part. However, lately, companies are starting to do this.

 A quick search of the person online will show a lot about the person, sometimes, good things and sometimes bad. If the person is a social worker or if the person is someone that works hard to help others, this too will be evident with a quick google search and sometimes, it is better to get someone with less qualifications and a better heart than the other way around. Another thing you will need to do is to talk to each short listed candidate because sometimes, it is a better idea to hire someone with passion and drive with less qualifications than the other way around. A quick talk to the person will help you to determine what kind of person they are.
