=====================================

THE 5 STEP TALENT ACQUISITION PROCESS

Every small business needs a process for hiring good people.

1. Lead Generation. You have to be able to generate a pool of good candidates. Start with a Job Description and find a way to promote that job. There are many sites online where you can do this. Get the word out.

2. Behavioral Interview. Don't ask hypothetical questions in an interview, ask questions about their real life experience. Identify the 3-5 most critical tasks and key performance indicators in the job description, and build your questions around those. Ask them in a way to get information about their past history and performance.

3.Assessment Tools and Exercises. You may want to use a personality or cognitive ability test. Any tests that are relevant to the job and not discriminatory should be considered. You may want to use exercises (quizzes, case studies, etc.) to see how the candidate thinks and processes.

4. Reference Checks. Don't skip this! Look for the "3 C's:" Chemistry, Competency, and Character. When it comes to Chemistry and Character, it depends on the business owner's intuition. Make those calls and checks to see if the references validate the things you are feeling and sensing from the candidate.

5. Final Selection. How do you score or rate your candidates? Have a system so you can select the best candidate for the job!
