Who handles recruiting within your organization? If the responsibility currently resides in Human Resources, it might be time to re-think your recruitment strategies. Knowing the qualities and attributes the open position requires will assist you in finding the right person. Start by developing a profile of the role you want the hire to play within your company. Consider the qualifications, the skill set and the experience the person needs to make a smooth transition into your company's structure. Recruiting can be expensive but not as expensive as hiring the wrong person.
