I'm re-reading a book by Brian Tracy called Hire and Keep the Best People. Here's a couple highlights from chapter two:Think Through the Job
- Before you begin your search for new employees, take sufficient time to think through the job carefully.
- Think through the exact output responsibilities of the job. Think in terms of measurable results that are clear and objective.
- Any job description has three parts: 1) There are the results expected of that position. You must be absolutely clear about these. 2) There are the skills necessary to achieve those results. What are they? 3) There are the personality characteristics of the ideal person for the job (i.e. someone who is honest, positive, hardworking, energetic, focused, and open minded) and how well he or she will fit in with the rest of the team.
- Hire people for what they have already done successfully rather than for what they think they can do if given a chance on your payroll.
