It has been estimated that the wrong recruitment decision can cost you $60,000 PLUS the emotional activity that took place.
You want to get the fit right for your RTO and you as a business owner. The first piece of advise I can offer is have a think about the role profile; what do they need to do?
- Who will they report to?
- What are you prepared to pay them?
- What is the purpose of the role?
- What skills and industry experience will they need?
- What is the appropriate position title?
- What are the key responsibilities of the role?
But this is not all, drill down further and work out the KPI’s of the role, what does your existing team look like, and what gap are they filling? What attributes do they need to fill the role successfully?
Consider profiling your team to get the best fit for your new person. Profiles come in many shapes and sizes like MBTI, DISC, Wealth Dynamics and many more.
Once you have this criteria you can construct the interview questions. Ask open ended questions find out more about the person as well as their knowledge. Use your RTO systems to create a standard template, so you can ensure everyone is given the same opportunity. Record everything for your own review.
Always, Always reference check! (try to get at least two). ..again develop a standard template to use.
Once they are on board you need to mentor and provide training, again another topic for discussion.
