Hiring: Find the right fit; don’t rush the process.

Do:

• • Define clear job requirements and expectations.
  • Craft compelling job descriptions.
  • Source candidates from multiple channels.
  • Conduct thorough interviews (beyond skills).
  • Check references and conduct background checks.
  • Offer competitive compensation and benefits.
  • Onboard new hires effectively.

Don’t:

• • Hire out of desperation.
  • Overlook culture fit and personality.
  • Base decisions solely on resumes.
  • Skip the trial period or probation.
  • Neglect to communicate regularly during onboarding.

Takeaway: Hiring is an investment in your company’s future. Take the time to find candidates who align with your values and goals. A bad hire is far more costly than an empty seat.
