| Take
your time |
| Some
of the most disastrous appointments have been those which were made in a hurry,
with no clear idea of the primary aspects involved in the job to be filled, nor
what sort of person would be suitable for it. The need was simply to find someone.

| Job
description |
| If
you do not take the time to describe the job you have on offer nor specify what
sort of person you need to fill the post, you will almost certainly not attract
the right people. |
| |
| Ask
the right questions |
| If
you have not identified at least one person who is right for the job, you may
not have asked the right form of questions... If you find yourself speculating
as to whether someone will be right or wrong for the job, you very probably do
not have enough information on which to base a decision. |
| |
| Be
prepared |
| Selecting
new people is a time-consuming process. How you go about choosing them plays an
important part in retaining them. The process is expensive in time and resources,
so it is a good investment to prepare properly and give it the attention it deserves.
