An employer needs to define the type of person that he/she requires to work in their organisation. It is essential that you recruit the right person. You need to determine the sort of person you require. If you get the wrong person it is very expensive and time consuming to replace him/her. The determination process can be long, costly and stressful and divert management activities away from the core business objectives.
The selection of an incorrect person can also affect your organisation's morale. Other employees can become disenchantered. Therefore you need to give a lot of thought to selecting the applicant to be offered the position. Just don't pick anyone because you've only got a small number of candidates. If none of them are suitable, don't offer the position to anyone.
Small/medium sized businesses should not employ second class applicants. By clearly defining the type of employee the business requires to improve the business team, at the beginning of the employment process, will give the best chance to the business of improving its investment in human resources.
