This might mean looking for people with a wider skill set &#8211; or someone with a diverse or interesting background that could bring a fresh perspective to how your business is working.\n\nThis aspect is especially important when trying to recruit <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/blog\/what-are-passive-candidates\/\">highly skilled passive candidates<\/a>.

This should be a key part of your interview process to help you see what a candidate thinks of the available job and if they could be a good fit for you, accounting for the potential job growth in the future.\n\nGet a clear sense of:\n\na) How do you foresee the ideal candidate growing in the role that you&#8217;re hiring for\n\nb) An understanding of the career goals of your potential candidate\n\nGetting a sense of both aspects will help you determine whether or not there is alignment between your candidate and the company&#8217;s goals.\n\n<em><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/candidate-ghosting\/\">Reasons job seekers ghost interviews<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\n\n<h3 id=\"2-pay-attention-to-the-questions-candidates-ask-you\">2. Pay attention to the questions candidates ask you<\/h3>\nIt&#8217;s common knowledge that any good candidate should ask thoughtful questions throughout the job interview and hiring process. This shows preparedness and engagement on the part of the candidate. An interview should be considered less as a question\/answer session &#8211; and more as a dialogue between you and someone who can help your business grow.\n\nThe best hires and top talent care about the team they&#8217;ll be on, who will be managing them, and how they can help take the company forward. Make a mental note of the questions a candidate asks throughout the interview\/recruitment process.\n\nIf they are only questions such as: &#8216;What are the working hours&#8217; &#8216;When do we get paid&#8217; &#8216;How much holiday do we get&#8217; They may be more interested in getting their paycheck every month than the actual business itself.\n\nObviously, these are questions people need to be answered at some point in the process, but also look for candidates who ask questions like: &#8216;Where do you see the business in 5 years&#8217; &#8216;What&#8217;s been the most successful (or unsuccessful) projects the business has set up &#8216;Why are you hiring for this role?&#8217;\n\nThese types of questions show that they really want to get a better understanding of the business and how they can help in their new role.\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_4454\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4454\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"two women having interview\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4454\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-to-hire-the-right-person-2.png-1024x683.jpg\" width=\"1024\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4454\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>The questions a candidate asks you are just as important as the questions you ask them.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"3-ask-qualified-candidates-what-theyre-not-good-at\">3.

So, a great way to ensure that you&#8217;re hiring the right person to hire is to ask them what they know they&#8217;re not good at. Their answer will help you understand their professional expectations for themselves and whether your assessment of them matches their own.\n\nThis question encourages prospective employees to articulate areas where they lack certain tangible skills. It will help you gain a good insight into whether or not prospective candidates are working to improve &#8211; giving you insight into candidates&#8217; work ethic and personal goals if you can see they are actively trying to improve themselves.\n\n<em><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/interview-sign-of-bad-hire\/\">Interview questions to reveal signs of a bad hire<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\n<h3 id=\"4-be-wary-of-hiring-manager-bias\">4. Be wary of hiring manager bias<\/h3>\nThey say you should always trust your gut. What is your first reaction to a candidate? While you might be tempted to rely purely on logic, it&#8217;s important to go with a candidate who you feel, on an instinctive level, will be a good fit.\n\nNo matter how many personality assessments they take, how many interviews they conduct, or what questions you ask, the common denominator has always been simple: when you trust your gut on hiring decisions you make the best choices. Dismissing or ignoring your instincts throughout the hiring process can ultimately do more harm than good.\n\nHowever, to play devil&#8217;s advocate, what if your gut is wrong. Tom Sorenson once quoted, &#8220;Using your gut is similar to scratching the surface. You only discover the superficial aspects of the candidate&#8221;.\n\nThere have been copious amounts of research that show hiring managers&#8217; biggest flaw is hiring people they liked in the interview process. Hiring people just because they made a great first impression rather than evaluating their skill set or background.\n\nWhen hiring the perfect candidate, make sure you take all these factors into consideration to make sure you&#8217;re hiring the right person in place for the job.\n\n<strong><em>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/unconscious-bias-in-recruitment\/\">How to overcome unconscious bias when hiring<\/a><\/em><\/strong>\n<h3 id=\"5-do-they-add-to-your-companys-culture\">5. Do they add to your company&#8217;s culture?<\/h3>\nThere&#8217;s a huge difference between hiring someone because they are a good cultural fit vs. hiring someone who would be a cultural add.\n\nCultural fit means the candidate fits perfectly within the existing boundaries of the business. The individual&#8217;s attitudes, values and beliefs are all in line with the core values and culture of the business as they currently stand.\n\nCultural add is when you select a candidate based on what they can add to the business. Whether that&#8217;s because of their background, experiences or if they connect to multiple plans that will help your business expand.\n\nWhen we asked our very own chief people officer, Alex Hattingh, and UBER recruitment guru Katie Noakes &#8211; they both agreed that they lean more towards hiring for cultural add. In the conversation, Katie said that she personally &#8216;hates culture fit as a term&#8217; and will always look for &#8216;candidates that offer a culture add&#8217;.\n\n<em><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/employer-branding\/\">Why employer branding matters<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_4453\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4453\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"colleagues having a good laugh\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4453\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-to-hire-the-right-person-3.png-1024x683.jpg\" width=\"1024\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4453\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Company culture is always key.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"why-find-candidates-that-add-to-your-company-culture\">Why find candidates that add to your company culture?<\/h2>\nThe right person for the role should bring something new to your business whilst still complimenting what you already have. They should help you get one step closer to your aspirational company culture.\n\nThere are other reasons why many recruiters and hiring managers are moving more towards culture add:\n<ul>\n<li>You should focus on a candidate&#8217;s passion. But hiring for cultural fit may mean you are prioritising passion over experience which is a big issue for long-term business success. You will end up with an entire team of inexperienced employees with a lot of ambition that will increase inefficiencies across the board.<\/li>\n<li>Cultural fit lends itself to whether a candidate is a good social fit. The old-school <a href=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/article\/throw-the-beer-test-out-the-window\">&#8216;Beer Test&#8217;<\/a> is the first thing that comes to mind. You are hiring to produce results for your business &#8211; not to socialise. Although you want to bring people into the team who are good characters, this shouldn&#8217;t be the only reason you hire them.<\/li>\n<li>Constantly hiring candidates that are all a great cultural fit can lead to homogeneity: this is defined as the quality or state of being all the same or all of the same kind. This means that new ideas are limited if everyone has the same or similar ways of thinking. New ideas are now not available to your business that could lead to your growth because your culture&#8217;s homogeneity stifles ideas that challenge any new ways of thinking.<\/li>\n<li>Not hiring someone because they&#8217;re a bad &#8216;culture fit&#8217; does not give that candidate good constructive feedback. You want to make sure that the 99% of candidates who you turn down, walk away with a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/candidate-experience-checklist\/\">positive candidate experience<\/a> even though they didn&#8217;t get the role. This way they will stay on board as either customers or brand advocates and will be more likely to apply again in 6 months&#8217; time when they&#8217;ve had time to work on the feedback given.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nCultural add, on the other hand, solves these issues by focusing on what a person can add to a team or business that&#8217;s unique and different. You need passionate people, and also candidates with different experiences to guide you in the right direction.\n\n<em><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> Showcase your company culture as a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/recruitment-marketing-strategies\/\"><strong>strategy for recruitment marketing<\/strong><\/a><\/em>\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_4452\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4452\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"people sitting in front of harbour bridge\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4452\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/how-to-hire-the-right-person-4.png-1024x683.jpg\" width=\"1024\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4452\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Always think about culture add, not culture fit.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"hire-not-just-the-right-person-but-the-right-team\">Hire not just the right person, but the right team<\/h2>\nBusinesses need technical capabilities, business acumen, relationship management or perhaps cultural awareness in order to expand their business.
