Hiring the wrong person for a position can be costly and time-consuming. It can also create unsafe workplaces; damage morale, company culture and employer branding; increase employee turnover; and reduce productivity. For this reason, many employers are focusing on how to improve hiring outcomes.
Organisations that strive to hire the right individual the first time may experience numerous benefits in employee performance, job satisfaction and retention. The checklists attached outlines key steps for employers to consider when establishing workplace practices to improve the hiring process at their organisations for more positive hiring outcomes. Because the hiring process can differ based on an organisation’s size and other factors, the steps in these lists should be modified to meet the unique needs of an organisation.
