To get the right candidates, you need to alight the job description with the actual need for the position.

Also, avoid giving your candidates a poor experience in the overall process from interviewing to onboarding.

Finally, don’t hire reactively, i.e., for short-term needs.  Think about your long-term needs instead.

Today’s conversation is based on the blog post, “8 Things That Can Cause You To Hire The Wrong Person.”
