Personality Plus

There are several key aspects to bringing on a new employee. It will take a career to really fully cover them. Today I am going to look at something that many people don’t really think about, which is personality. You must bring on people that will get along with the rest of the group. A simple interview is not a large enough sample to determine if the candidate will fit in with the rest of the employees. Bringing on an employee is not easy and is very time consuming. Make sure to check references. Even that is not enough. With today’s technology make sure to do your homework and find out if this candidate fits in your companies culture. Between Facebook and Myspace, there is a lot of information that is just there for the public eye. Skills and ability are obviously essential, but if there are personality conflicts and other drama, performance will suffer for everybody.
