Sometimes, people that are not really capable for the job manage to impress on their interview and get employed. After you have spent money and time on that person, you realize you had made a big mistake employing that person. This is a very common issue these days as people appearing for their interviews, use materials and tips from the internet or through some professional, just to make an impression on the employers, even if they are not at all fit for the job. Therefore it is important for employers to learn the art of employing the right people the first time.

Add to your advertisements a few specifics on the kind of person you are looking for. Make it seem like a challenging job and those people who do their work without any dedication will automatically not apply for it. The internet has made this job a lot easier. You can post your advertisement on forums where only worthy people might see it. Internet enables you to check entire past records of people, showing you if the person is worthy of the job or not.

The next step is to prepare the right questions for the interview. The questions should not be too general and should contain questions that will show what kind of personality the person giving the interview has. Add some psychologist to your interview team to assess the personality of the person and perhaps, also to prepare the questions to be asked.

The validity of all certificates is important. Check if all the certificates, documents provided to you are correct. Check criminal records for the applicant to protect yourself and other employees from possible danger. Make sure the person has no history of money fraud. Compare the documents provided to some of the questions answered on the interview to make sure they reflect his/her personality or not. As almost everything is now available on the internet, the job of checking validity of the documents has been made a lot easier.

After having done the above steps you can short list the applicants. Make the short listed people take some test or have a second interview to see who has an edge over the others. Finally, call the person most capable for the job and sign a work agreement with him/her. The chances of hiring the wrong employee, if you have followed all the rules stated above, are minimal.
