- The criteria that you look for will depend on the nature of the job but it's important to define exactly what you really want from your ideal candidat.
- Before you start, you need to have two lists, the absolutely essential criteria and the desirable criteria.
- Some of the qualities that you can check are as follows: Educational qualifications, Professional qualifications, Professional experience, Evidence of competencies.
- It is necessary to exclude as many unsuitable candidates as quickly as possible.
- To make the process easier you can use the following steps: Start with an idea about the number of candidates that you want to interview.
- Conduct your shortlist in stages.
- Set minimum criteria as stage 1 - Set your Educational, Professional qualifications and Experience minimums and produce a list of all the candidates who meet your minimum criteria first.
- This will save a lot of time.
- Exclude the inconsistent applications as stage 2 - For example, if you are looking to fill a permanent role, you can ignore candidates with vague employment history.
- Last stage filtering - If there are still too many interview candidates in your shortlist after stages one and two, you can begin to filter them through the 'desirable' non essential qualities for the job.
- These can be highly relevant training, experience, etc. Interview - Once you have shortlisted as much as possible the interview should be designed to affirm your shortlist criteria and also to look into personality fit.
