Checklist

6 Points To Consider
 

2. Understanding applicants’ motivation

Improvement in employee retention is the result of meticulous attention to the people who are working in the business. Prevention of a high turnover rate is the key to success.

The selection interview and discussions with applicants can provide valuable information.

Ask questions and use the responses to improve the hiring process. Some examples of questions:
  • How did you hear about us?
  • Why would you like to work in our business?
  • Could you give us two (2) positive and two (2) negative considerations that came to mind when you saw our job offer?
