Making sure that you really go through their profile. Check if everythign they say in the interview aligns with what they submit or have in their public profiles to make sure you are not led on and hiring someone who is bogus

Lokesh Joshi · Answer

I think the most important step in the hiring process is conducting thorough interviews. This step allows employers to assess candidates' qualifications, cultural fit, and potential for growth within the company. Effective interviews provide invaluable insights that go beyond resumes, ensuring that the selected candidate aligns with the organization's goals and values.

Big ups on launching PyjamaHR!

Personally, I think onboarding is the most critical step. It’s the first impression a new hire gets.

The most important step in hiring process is "character check". An employee  with a bad character and good skills will be bad for any team.

Character plays an important role in our day to day lives if you will agree with me. I am open to corrections as well.

Patience, I think :) Not settling for a mediocre candidate.

PS: We launched on PH Textok today too!!

We (at Marlee) see the deep understanding of a person's work style and motivational traits as the critical factor impacting success outcomes for new hires. Understanding potential conflict areas (in ways of working) is important, and ensuring you're building a cognitively diverse team.

Zion Melson · Answer

As a former recruiter I would say the most important step in the hiring process is ensuring that both company and candidate expectations are aligned.

I can't tell you how many horror stories I've heard of lost placements because a candidate didn't like the offer -- or the company couldn't match the salary expectations of the candidate.

@austinarmstrong We built a tool to automated this, but so has about 100 other competitors. What else do you think is a burning problem when hiring?

Vinod Katam · Answer

@austinarmstrong ,One of the biggest challenges is also missing out on candidate applications as its a very manual and tedious process. Wrong hiring costs more than not hiring. Thats one of the challenges that we faced when we were hiring, which lead to the idea of starting PyjamaHR. To ensure that recruiters are not wasting their time in screening not so qualified candidates, we automated the screening flows with pre defiled criteria set by the recruiters. This will help you focus on just those candidates that fall in your qualification bracket. We just launched today, do check us out and if possible, give a honest feedback.
