Whether you're building a marketing staff, replacing departing employees or expanding the skill sets available for your firm, you'll make better hires if you use a few simple steps to clarify and control the process.

Knowing the work to be performed, the criteria for success, and the relevant competencies is crucial, both for the hiring authority and the firm. Having the right evaluation tools can help you identify the best candidates among the crowd of applicants. Instituting a specific procedure through which to move each candidate enables qualifications to be expressed and experiences to be analyzed, as well as making unique individuals more easily comparable.

Be prepared to share this information with each candidate before the initial interview.
