Attract the Right Job or Clientele:

Is There A Perfect Method For Onboarding The Right People?

Because onboarding the right people into your organization is critical, many institutional leaders will ask themselves if a foolproof method is possible. After all, the impact one person can have on your organization is quite hard to overstate, especially after Investing so much time, effort, Money, and Education into their development.

Of course, this isn’t strictly limited to the private enterprise. Even educational institutions may need to run a  financial aid management system to ensure their outreach programs are correctly targeted toward those who may benefit most from them.

Realistic business owners know that onboarding the right people 100% of the time is not always possible. After all, a safety incident rate of 0% is the only acceptable figure to pursue, yet unfortunately, problems can and do occur, and prevention isn’t always enough.

What might the perfect onboarding system look like if we moved as close as possible to it? Our collaborative post offers insights into whether there is a perfect method of onboarding the right people.

Targeted Yet Diverse Employment Sourcing

One must start looking in the right places to find the right people. Sure, you could post a job ad on the usual sites and hope for the best, but that will not always perfectly provide you with the candidates you want or can shape over time. Smart businesses or enterprises try different approaches when they can, as and when they need to. 

For example, that might involve using specialist job networks for certain roles, especially if you need to search for an executive, as these services can work hard to match your criteria. However, engaging with local university graduate possibilities can help you find a perfect professional exactly curated for an entry-level role. 

Note: Having a mix of backgrounds and experiences in your team can bring fresh ideas and new thinking.

Thorough Vetting

Once you find some promising candidates, it is time to investigate their backgrounds more deeply without being invasive.

Checking references is a good starting place, although some allowances should be made if they’re relatively new to the job market. Some companies are even using skills tests or short trial projects to see how potential hires perform in the real world, but make sure you pay for any work you make them do. 

Background checks are standard these days, too, and usually include searches on social media to see if any questionable posts or an internet presence are worth knowing about to consider what’s relevant for the role. Remember, they are entitled to privacy, too.

Test Management

Putting candidates into a (paid) test can tell you much about how they’ll perform on the job. This could be anything from a simple skills test to a more complex simulation of a typical workday. The key is to make these tests relevant and fair and to give them relevance to the job.

But don’t make these narrow and limited. If you’re hiring for a creative role, a multiple-choice quiz probably won’t work. It’s better to see how people think rather than making them answer questions correctly. This gives you an insight into the mind you’re bringing onto the team.

Induction Periods

The first few weeks or even months in a new job can help you get over that honeymoon period and see the real personality of your employee, not just the one who looked great in the interview.

A good induction program isn’t about constant tests, either. It’s to help new hires feel welcome and quickly get them up to speed. This might include a mix of formal training sessions, meet-and-greets with different teams, and some hands-on experience with the day-to-day work. It might just be bringing a staff tree so they know who is who. After weekly or monthly check-ins, you’ll be able to see if they’re a right fit. You can always let them go if they’re not.

Mentor Systems

Mentor systems are underrated but helpful for most firms. Pairing new hires with more experienced team members or leaders for a little while can be great for both sides. It gives the new employee someone to turn to with questions they might be too embarrassed to ask their boss and helps them learn the unwritten rules of how things get done in your company. 

For the mentors, it’s a chance to develop their leadership skills and learn something different from the fresh perspective of a new hire. The key is to match people up carefully—you want personalities and working styles that complement each other. It also shows whether the new hire will be able to get along with people and how they deal with authority in your organization.

Values and Habits Over Perfect Results

When you’re bringing new people on board, it’s unbelievably tempting to focus on their skills and experience over everything—but remember, who they are now is changing, too. They’re more than that experience. We want to emphasize that work ethic, attitude, and how well they fit with your company culture are sometimes better than having a year more experience over another candidate.

After all, someone who’s great at their job but rubs everyone the wrong way probably isn’t going to work out in the long run or help your internal productivity in the slightest. Look for people who share your company’s values, have good work habits, and are excited to represent you. These employees typically go the extra mile when needed and help build a positive team atmosphere.

Conclusion: A Perfect Method For Onboarding The Right People

When you adapt the suggestions above to your style, you can help onboard the better-matched candidates for an available position. By knowing exactly where to look, what to look for, how to prioritize qualities you want to see, and checking into their background, you’ll avoid the difficulties of a disappointing candidate and all that wasted time spent developing them.

Elinor Stutz broke through barriers long before doing so was popular. Against all the odds, she defied the theme “women can’t sell” to become the top producer at every company she ever worked for, ignoring attempts to get her to quit.

Eleven years later, I lay motionless on a stretcher with an irreparably broken neck. Two visions appearing before me, and a brilliant gold light encasing my entire body, gave me a reason to believe I would recover. I wholeheartedly knew I was about to empower audiences far and wide. At the moment, I negotiated a full recovery with the promise to be of service. The surgeon and hospital staff anointed me with the title “The Walking Miracle.”

As the CEO of Smooth Sale, Stutz adapted the motto, “Believe, Become, Empower.” Believe in yourself; Become the person you envision; Empower your audience to do the same. Stutz is on the Social Media Committee for Inclusion Allies Coalition devoted to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
