How to Scope Out Star Candidates

Many employers want to hire new employees with the latest skills that are in demand.
Finding a job in 2012 and beyond is becoming the normal daily operation that has a slower growth than last year in 2011. However, companies are always seeking to decrease expenses including payroll.

On the other hand, businesses are being cautious in investing in the right job candidate.
Indeed, the best way's to create a plan of what will be the vital roles of duties.

Creating New Interview Questions
  • Give a Problem Scenario-(For Example, employers can ask, if I have an important document to be typed at 5:50 and you the job candidate gets off at 6:00 pm, will you stay and type the document?
  • Tell the interviewee a problem that is part of their duties and give three possible solutions and only one is correct.
  • Another way to weed out job seekers-Asking: What would you change in this organization if you were the boss?
  • Research Questions: To See if the job seeker reviewed the company's history.
        ( What year was this company founded? OR Who is the founder of this company?)
  • If hired, what will you bring to the table?
Consequently, many hiring managers are very picky in selecting the "right candidate" and may miss out on the right person that will bring value with their multi-skill sets.
In contrast, this is why amass of businesses fail in the first five years.
