When we talk about recruiting someone in the company then the process involve many steps with it, but execution of each steps effectively is equally important.  Each and every requirement of the job should be clear and specific to the recruiter. Few essential steps that should be followed before placing someone on job are:

Pre Interview screening and preliminary interview
This is the most basic and important stage where you can select eligible candidates and reject useless ones.  Effective execution of this first step can save much of time in later stages. Application received from various sources is scrutinized and irrelevant ones are discarded.

Application Form
Personal details of the selected candidates are taken through this form so they can be called later whenever required. All the information recorded I this form should be cross checked for the relevancy.

Personal Interview
Personal interviews are held to check the communication skills of the candidate, their power to handle the pressure and tension of being rejected or selected.  Personal interviews also gives an idea about the overall personality of the candidate and his behavior.

Checking references
References given by the employees are checked at this stage and their past working experiences are scrutinized.

Credit Checks
Many companies check the financial situation of the employees as it has two reasons Firstly company should know the status of each employees working  and lots of debts or financial burden also influence the working capacity of the employee.

Tests
Different types of tests are conducted to evaluate the capabilities of an applicant, his behaviour, special qualities etc. Separate tests are conducted for various types of jobs.

Physical Examination

Hire Nice People
Highly qualified, well known, experienced but not nice cannot do good for you as his/her selfish behavior will hamper the environment of the organization always. This employee will always be loyal to himself. So try to hire nice people who are flexible and easy to deal with. Easy employees enhance the working capacity of others too by providing nice and friendly environment in the office.

How to Know a Person is Nice?
Attitude is the best teller about the basic character of the person. If the person is totally success driven and does not care about anything else he is not the right type of the employee for your company. Customer also likes to deal with the people good in communication skills and those who are down to earth, so hiring nice people along with experienced ones is a smart deal.
Why to restrict the interviews among board rooms, in fact call the selected candidate for a long drive, a ball game or in any social gathering associated with the company.  Candidates attitude check while driving can give you a hint about the nature of the person whether he is doing a harsh or safe drive, keen to run faster then other without any safety for the co passengers or candidates attitude after loosing a game, all these small things can tell you about candidates behavior like his way of interaction with other employees at any social gathering.

What kind of employees should not be selected?

Candidates coming late
Candidate who does not have a sense of responsibility should never be recruited as they can never be a asset to the company. A candidate who does not know the value of time is not a suitable candidate.

Candidates not prepared
Instead of knowledge candidate not prepared should never be recruited as this also shows lack of dedication towards your work and less dedicated employees are waste for the company.

Candidates not interested
