How Managers Ruin Hiring Process

[Jasz]

As a hiring manager, you know that it's your job to make sure you're bringing in the right candidates for your team. But how do you make sure you're not accidentally choosing the wrong person?

Here are six ways managers can ruin the hiring process:

1. They don't have a clear understanding of what they're looking for in a candidate. If you don't know what kind of person is going to be best for the position, how can you tell if someone is qualified?

2. They spend too much time on one candidate and not enough time on another. The more time you spend with each candidate will give you a better idea of their strengths and weaknesses, but if there's only one person who has everything you're looking for, it's unlikely there will be someone better out there waiting for your consideration and if there is someone better, they probably won't be as eager to work with your company so they may move on to another opportunity before being offered an interview with your team (or take another offer while still waiting).

3. They rush through interviews without spending enough time on each candidate. This can lead them to overlook important details like whether or not the candidate actually enjoys their job or fits into company culture.

Mamager is the driver of any business and they are the ones that can determine the success or failure of businesses. Their action, reaction and styles can determine the direction of their business.

The first wrong step is to use style that is not productive. There are many managerial styles and each of them has both advantages and disadvantages. The moment the manager doesn't choose wisely by choosing the ones that will be counter productive, there is no way it won't affect the business.


Rigidity of a manager: it is better to be principled but we need to be flexible. We should be opened to advice as managers. We should know that we cannot be always right. So when there are some suggestions, observations and even say forward from the workers, we should try to embrace those changes.


Favoritism: when a manger is known to be partial to some workers for one reason or the others. Some managers even go ahead to date their workers. This will later result to bad leadership style and end up affecting the business.


Managerial post is a post where one needs to be careful lest he destroys both his integrity and the organization at the end of the day.

1. Not having a clear plan for hiring Managers need to have a clear vision of what they want in an employee and be able to describe this in a way that can be quickly understood by other members of the team. If you are not doing this, you are going to make it very difficult for both yourself and others involved in the hiring process because there will be a lot of confusion about what you're looking for and what's important to you. You'll also waste time interviewing candidates who don't fit your criteria (even if they're qualified) or who don't feel like a good fit for your team once they've been hired.

2. Failing to write job descriptions Businesses often neglect the importance of writing clear job descriptions when they are hiring new employees because they think it's just a waste of time or something they can do later on down the road when they have more time available. However, this is one of the most important steps involved when conducting an interview process because it gives candidates an idea as to how much time will be needed on their end (i.e., how much time does it take to do an hour's worth of work each day? etc.). It also helps them understand what kind of work will be expected from them once.
