How can we hire right people- tips

Pls found some tips from our group members:
Before interview check yourself;
What skills can they bring to the organization? (Not all of their talents have to related to their particular job) What experience do they have? Do they understand the mission statement? How can they help the company meet the goals (this is no matter what level you are hiring at). Are they teachable? How do they present themselves--both in appearance and in demeanor?) Why have they applied? What do they know about your organization? What are their goals?

I interview them a lot. Not just once, twice or three times. No. I bring them back in to get to know other staff, get to know the organization, and then they interview with other staff. The rest of the staff then would give me their top three candidates and I would then interview those three again. IF my staff eliminated the person I saw as the strongest candidate I'd bring that person in as well. I would then interview each finalist WITH members of the staff, pros and cons would be discussed with staff, and then I would make the final decision taking in everyone's feedback.

Now, once they've been hired you need to determine if they are in the right job within the company, or whether they fit in the company at all. The quicker you can cut your losses, or make changes, the better for the company.

Their ability to think and take ownership on what they do make them the most valuable assets in every company they work for.
