When it comes to operating a successful business, recruiting the right people to get things done is beyond crucial.

In a world where the business competition gets harder every day, the margin for business owners for committing mistakes gets thinner as well. Accuracy is key in every single aspect of the business, and recruitment is definitely not an exception.

What happens when you mis-hire? First, we have to acknowledge the main kinds of mistakes when hiring people.

The most common mistake is to not define the job description, its limits and tasks. Then, not taking enough time to screen the applicants. Another common mistake is to try making an applicant to be able to perform too many tasks of different kinds in order to save money.

Not defining the job’s scope is costly, because you won’t be able to find a profile that will be specialized in a particular area. This makes the learning process more difficult and longer, affecting the time for the recruit to be able to perform the tasks properly.

The screening process is related to the latter mistake. Screening helps us find the strengths and weaknesses of every single profile, allowing us to know if the applicant is the right fit for our organization or not. Having this information helps us save time and money since only the profiles that fit the company’s needs will be hired. But having your own recruitment department is also expensive.

Expecting an employee to perform too many tasks without specializing in a single area sounds like a nice way to save some money, but it really does work only for a short term. In the long run, you need specialized staff able to perform specific tasks to perfection, and having people running from one area to a whole different one will just overwhelm your workforce, increase rotation while affecting your productivity.
