</div><div><div><div><span style="font-size:14px;">When it comes to running and managing a successful SME, a worthy idea and a sound business plan are just half the battle. In order to get your idea off the ground, you need to employ the right people with the relevant skills.&nbsp;</span></div>
<div><br></div><div> While you might think that employing effective staff is relatively easy, a new research report by Brandon Hall Group has revealed that 95% of organisations have admitted to making poor recruitment choices in the past. </div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><div><span style="font-size:14px;">It’s imperative that you develop a strong team of employees that work well together if you want your business to succeed, so read on for suggestions about how to avoid employing the wrong person for your SME.</span></div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:inherit;font-size:14px;"><br></span></p><div><div><span style="font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;">Take a strategic approach to hiring</span></div>
</div><p class="MsoNormal">When it comes to recruiting, you need to make sure that you have a standardised method in place that makes it easy for hiring managers and recruiters to do their jobs effectively. You also need to consider how you can tailor your recruitment process so that it matches up with your business objectives.<br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><div><div><span style="font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;">Look beyond core skills</span></div>
</div><p class="MsoNormal">Sure, you need to employ someone that has the essential skills and can do the job that is required of them, but if you only recruit based on this basis, it’s likely that you run the risk of employing someone that doesn’t mesh well with your core business values.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><div> If you have a culture of openness and collaboration within your company, it may be worth asking candidates how they feel about teamwork and asking them to explain a time in the past that they achieved something as part of a team. </div>
<div><br></div><p class="MsoNormal">In much the same way, if you prefer your employees to work in a more independent way, you may want the person you are interviewing to demonstrate a time that they achieved well on their own.<br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><div><div><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:16px;">Consider the candidate experience</span></div>
</div><p class="MsoNormal">In much the same way that you want your customers to have a worthwhile experience when they invest in your company, you want to candidates to enjoy themselves to. Consider ways that you can make the interview process more fun for people.<br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">You could ask that everyone from the team that they are being considered for meets and greets them to help build relationships from the get go. You could also provide food and drinks and offer candidates a tour of the work premises. All of these things will ensure these individuals will perform, stay motivated, and want to stay with the organization.<br></p></div>
