Fortis Marketing Solutions Strives to Work With the Best
The leadership team at Fortis Marketing Solutions emphasizes good recruiting and hiring strategies. The director discussed how company leaders make sure only the most qualified applicants are offered positions at the firm.
Walpole, MA, October 30, 2015 (Newswire.com) - “We put a lot of time and effort into the process of finding, vetting, and onboarding the right people to join our team,” stated the firm’s director. However, in my opinion, it’s far easier to do what we do than it is to deal with a bad hire. That costs not only time and money, but can do lasting damage to a company’s morale and productivity.” A business is only as strong as the crew that works it, the director continued, so he prefers to leave as little to chance as possible when it comes to adding to the Fortis Marketing Solutions team.
Specific Strategies for Hiring a Great Team From Fortis Marketing Solutions’ Director
"I have some detailed guidelines the leadership team and I follow when it comes to the hiring process,"
“I have some detailed guidelines the leadership team and I follow when it comes to the hiring process,” the director shared. First, we conduct an in-depth analysis of the role we are looking to fill, gaining knowledge about the specific duties and required skills for the successful fulfillment of that position. This allows us to write a comprehensive job description that can be used to attract qualified professionals to interview. A thorough understanding of the job also allows for the creation of an interview checklist, which can be used to make sure the candidate meets all necessary requirements.
Before the actual face-to-face interview, though, the director initiates pre-screening conversations. “I like to talk to prospects on the phone before actually bringing them in. Sometimes an applicant can look great on paper, but not be a good fit for our culture. Asking some preliminary questions over the phone might save everyone a lot of time.”
Once someone has made it through the pre-screening process, it’s time for a meeting. The director stressed the importance of having smart and insightful questions prepared. The best questions, in his opinion, are open-ended queries that allow a potential hire to share information about himself or herself in an authentic way. Then, once options have been narrowed down to just a handful of candidates, the Fortis Marketing Solutions team conducts both background and reference checks.
When the final decision is made, the director finds that a job offer letter is the best way to let someone know he or she has made the team. “This way, issues like benefits and salary are all spelled out. This may seem like an extensive process, but the results we produce at Fortis Marketing Solutions demand nothing less than the best team we can put together.”
