Recruiting can be called the hardest task of all ones that would be arriving ahead. It being the initial step in the hiring process, makes it the most difficult and significant one. Because a good start leads to a good end.

In all these, what is important is to recruit a candidate who will end up turning into a perfect employee for the job.

Often people worry about how to go through tons of resumes and sort out the suitable candidate and the not suitable ones. Though this feels like a heavy task, it is what your job demands you accomplish. It is a necessity to go through all the struggles even just to hire that particular employee that will do justice to your efforts and profit the company rather than bringing it to doomsday.

Not referring to it as a single employee can bring a company to its end but it’s just a saying because the start of one can grow and multiply, soon overbearing the workplace and exhausting it.

So, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

No one can completely explain why it is so important to hire a proper candidate but surely here are a few reasons listed below:


1. To save time, energy and effort.


If you have given a lot into hiring the candidate then why back out at the last step? Hiring in a hurry at the last moment will cost you double later. If the candidate is not right, it will take more time, energy and effort to teach the candidate the job and it will stop your productivity and more so the team’s. Also, adding an addition to the team should feel more like an addition than a division and subtraction of teamwork.


2. To maximize output with less input.


Candidates who have prior knowledge don’t need a lot of teaching to make them understand the process. There is no prejudice against candidates from different fields, it just means hiring someone who already has a gist of the position, irrespective of their field. What is required is a candidate who can quickly grab the notes and are ready to implement them. In this way, not much teaching is required and the candidate fits right into the team.


3. To strengthen the team spirit.


Whenever a new member is added, the team has to go through a few changes, intentionally or unintentionally. The addition of a new presence is sure a lot to get used to, too. Everyone has to learn about each other while also focusing on work, with a priority tag on it. At such times, the team gains momentum but the candidate might not keep up with it, losing the team spirit. This disheartens the other members and creates imbalance amongst them, which should not be the case with the team.


4. To avoid company details being out in the open.


For any employee to learn anything, it is a given that the company provides a lot of things. Most of them are licensed software accounts, company email IDs, computer passwords and a lot more things for easy access to the new member. This makes the company details known to one more person who is still not sure about staying in the company and growing together. If they leave, the information goes along with them and you can’t be quite sure if they would misuse it or not.


5. To avoid losing a good employee


Imagine choosing the wrong candidate from the circle, what is that you would receive? The answer is simple, a loss. Choosing the wrong candidate not only brings the wrong person in the wrong spot but also makes the right person unable to arrive at the right spot. You’d never know if choosing the other candidate would’ve given you better and desired results but you should be a better judge so you won’t miss a better candidate. Sometimes, a call back does work but it is not often that things happen the same way.


6. To abstain from making a loss.


This calls for a save. No one wants to make a loss on anything. If you wish to buy a thing for $10 and you get it at $5, you’re happy but what if the scenario is the opposite? You’ve paid $10 but received a $5 item? You’ll not like it. Just the same thing is to be applied here. The company is paying the employee a full payment but the work done by the employee is only half. Isn’t it such a waste and makes the company face a loss? So, it is better to get what you pay for, not less.


7. To experience positive growth.


When the employee is included in the team, it’s not just the employee taking time to learn things, the team also invests their time teaching the employee. The member should be able to adjust sooner and show good results. The team should feel like the presence of the new member has increased their overall value in the company’s growth scale. They should be able to reap profits for the company and keep pushing to reach new heights.


8. To avoid re-doing the whole process.


Nonetheless, no one wants to go through a lengthy process twice to hire the perfect candidate who was missed in the crowd. The process can either go by re-sorting or going to find a fresh one. In any case, the hard work and efforts stay the same which is a total waste of time and a disaster for personal mental balance. It is an unavoidable situation and ends up having to redo the process because of the necessity of someone to take the workload. It is better to do the job better on the first attempt and experience a positive environment than having to work again on it.

So, here are a few reasons stated that should surely awaken the desire in you to put some more effort and hire the right candidate. Also, these are the only few being stated here but in reality, there can be a lot of unsaid things that could occur and which don’t seem beneficial to the team or the company.

Henceforth, focus on what is needed rather than what is wanted.
