This is where you'll figure out how to find and keep the best applicants. Consider whether you can locate a suitable candidate from within the firm or whether you need to hire someone from outside.

4.         Screen and shortlist candidates

• First, filter through the applications to identify those that meet the basic requirements.

• After that, separate resumes by preferred credentials. Look at the applicant's work history, certificates, domain and technical competencies, and skills in this section.

• Only those candidates who meet the minimal requirements and possess the necessary credentials will be considered.

• If we have any concerns about their application, we'll make a note of it so we can address it at the interview.

5.         Conduct interviews

This is where your possible applicant will make direct contact with you after completing the application form or viewing the job advertisement.

As a result, it's time to make a solid first impression as a possible employer. And employer should be most concerned about candidate experience.

 

6.         Evaluate and make the offer

Now is the time to check the references of the candidate. You can then make the offer if everything checks out.

However, it's possible that the first promising applicant you've chosen will refuse. If this is the case, you must be willing to give an offer to the second or third best candidate.

 

7.         Onboard the new employee

This is where you help the new employee get used to his or her surroundings. This includes more than just showing the new employee around the office and introducing them to others.

This includes assisting them in comprehending their tasks and offering the resources and training they require to learn.
