5 Ways To Revolutionize The Hiring Process by Dyt(f): 2:22pm On May 20, 2021
Here are 5 ways to revolutionize the hiring process:

1. Go Digital but Be Human
Your application hiring process should be a digital process one in which an applicant is compelled to upload a resume to your website job posting based upon good copy that sizzles a call to action to apply for that job opening. It is a call to action. If you are still asking candidates to fill out paper applications and turn in printed resumes then your competition is on your tail. In addition, when receiving resumes the goal should be to look for reasons to rule someone in, rather than rule someone out. Resumes are subjective and perhaps an applicant has not shared something on a resume that could solve a need that you have. Reach out and contact applicants who may not hit the bull’s-eye- but may hit the target of your job need.

2. Hire a Recruiting Company
Let the professionals do the heavy lifting. Recruiters are well-connected in the industry, especially if you are working with a recruiter who specializes in your niche. Hire a recruiter who can take charge of the hiring process. They will have the experience and networks to find highly qualified applicants for your company.

3. Online Job Sites are Largely Ineffective- No Matter What Anyone Tells You
Most companies assume that online job sites are the best place to post job openings, but the truth is that these sites are too much of a hassle to deal with. When a job is posted to an online job board, it is easy for qualified resumes to get lost amid thousands of other resumes. If you post your job opening online, expect to be bombarded with unqualified applicants.

4. Ask Behavioral Questions in the Intervie[/b]w
Ask behavioral based questions, so that you can get an idea of the ways the candidate would handle various situations. Put that person squarely in the job and ask them how they would solve it. After all, the reason for hiring anyone is to solve needs. When interviewing potential candidates, avoid weird questions like “What would animal would you be if you were reincarnated?” Some people think that these questions are funny, but they don’t provide any beneficial information about the candidate.

5. [b]Test Candidates Before They are Hired

Unfortunately, many people lie about their experience and skill set on their resume. Instead of assuming that everyone is truthful about their qualifications, you should consider testing your top candidates. These tests might be focused on technical skills that will be required, or you might choose a basic background check to look for criminal history. Some companies like to use personality tests to get a better understanding of the ways an employee will fit within the current team. To be candid, the majority of personality tests are useless. Test candidates by putting them on the spot. It may be uncomfortable but in the real world, unexpected events are the norm. Have them make a phone call to solve an issue and see how they conduct themselves. Look for resourcefulness. You can teach a skill set to a chimpanzee, but the number one thing that most employers should look for is resourcefulness or creativity.

This is one mistake many company make during interviews.

They keep asking what we call Magic Questions"
Like,
“What would you do if you could be God for a day?”
Really?
No serious candidate would be thrilled with such questions.

When you’re interviewing someone, you should focus on finding out if they can do the job.
That’s it.
Try to learn more about their skills, knowledge, interests, experience, and character.
If you go overboard with your creativity during the interview, you won’t make a good impression

We let them ask a question or two,
and then ask them what they think about the candidates.
It is important to see how the team perceives the personalities who are about to join.

What exactly do you want this person to do for us @MANNA?
Their skills and competences matter most.
As for the education and experience; those are of secondary importance.

Online job sites are not ineffective in any way.

It's ironic that your link leads to LinkedIn and you have such in your post.

Good one but the most important thing is this: give transport fare to people who come for interviews. Around 90% of them borrowed money to attend the interview; map out money for people coming for interview, light entertainment and transport money e get why.

Online job sites is a nightmare.

The times I've tried it, the CVs I got made me want to pull my hair out.

You see an ad for a COO (Chief Operating Officer) requiring 10 years of experience, and people fresh out of NYSC will be applying.


Or you see a job title "Financial Controller" a person knows they've got no idea what the role is about, yet they'll be applying.

It's annoying. I almost wish there was a penalty.

You mean you ask questions like:

Do you promise to support Buhari even if he is wrong and even if it takes you to sound stupid.

Sorry ooh, just joking.

The hiring process have been revolutionized a while ago just many can't afford it.

Next challenge is helping potential employee spot fake job roles and fake companies.

The cost of the project is huge because it's designed to cater to every job seeker via the utilization of digital footprint and none digital footprint.

From investigation we realized a set process of everyone engaging a platform is always abused over time.

Criminals in Nigeria are always trying to be a step ahead or they are always trying to adjust faster than usual.

The human intellectual capital of this country is very strong.
