Finding the right people
When a small company grows, managers must take on many new roles. Besides the day-to-day running of the business, they find themselves responsible for, among other things, relations with outside investors, increased levels of cashflow and, hardest of all, recruitment.
For most managers of small and medium-sized enterprises, the job of searching for, interviewing and selecting staff is difficult and time-consuming. (0) ... .G... . Interviewing, for example, is a highly skilled activity in itself.
We have found the whole process very hard, says Dan Baker, founding partner of a PR company. In seven years we have grown from five to eighteen staff, but we have not found it easy to locate and recruit the right people. (8).........As Dan Baker explains, We went to one for our first recruitment drive, but they took a lot of money in advance and didnt put forward anybody suitable. In the end we had to do it ourselves.
Most recruitment decisions are based on a pile of CVs, a couple of short interviews and two cautious references. David Rowe, a business psychologist, studied how appointments were made in five small companies. He claims that selection wasrarely based on clear criteria.(9).........This kind of approach to recruitment often has unhappy consequences for both employers and new recruits.
Small companies often know what kind of person they are looking for. (10)......... According to David Rowe,this means that small company managers themselves have to devote more time and energy to recruitment. It shouldnt be something that is left to the evenings or weekends.
Many companies start the recruitment process with over-optimistic ideas about the type of person that will fit into their team. s very easy to say you must have the best people in the top positions, says Alex Jones, managing partner of an executive recruitment company. But someone who is excellent in one company may not do so well in another environment.(11).........You can never guarantee a successful transfer of skills.
Whatever the candidates qualifications, their personal qualities are just as important since they will have to integrate with existing members of staff. This is where, the recruitment industry argues, they can really help.
According to Alex Jones, A good recruitment agency will visit your company and ask a lot of questions. (12).........They can ask applicants all sorts of questions you dont like to ask and present you with a shortlist of people who not only have the skills, but who are likely to fit in with your companys way of doing things.
