Identify Outstanding Candidates From Bad Ones

By Joseph Jacob


Choosing the most appropriate applicant for a job vacancy is not very simple. Even if all organizations make efforts to choose the best applicants for job positions by checking their job applications, many don't succeed in choosing the correct one. Most of the organizations recruit bad people and wind up with many issues.

Due to this issue, selecting a person by only checking the application should not be done. It is important to select one through a series of interviews and background checking processes. Recruiters can follow various tactics to identify good candidates. Here are some few tips to differentiate good applicants from bad ones.

Coming delay for interviews is not an attribute of an excellent applicant. The stability of an individual says many factors about his character. If an individual comes for an interview promptly, he knows the importance of the interviewer's time. If an applicant does not come for an interview promptly, we can anticipate the equal characteristics when he works.

If someone has related work experiences and education background, he can be considered as a good one. We cannot expect good performances from a person who do not know anything about the job he is being going to hire. It is important to check the backgrounds of candidates for related experiences without directly accepting the things their CVs say.

Check the verbal and nonverbal communication of candidates and identify the best. Good applicant maintains a good body language. They have a good personality and professional attire. People with lack of interest on what the employer says during the interview and poor eye contacts cannot be considered as good candidates. The good ones always maintain perfect eye contacts, gestures and interest on what others talk.

It is hard to trust anyone. Therefore, check candidates for any criminal records. Careful backgrounds checks will help to find such records if exist.

Good applicants are desperate to handle everything in their new career. They always illustrate their attention on the occupation and its obligations.

If someone has different career paths in his past track records, or if someone says that he wants to go through a completely different path, he will not retain in the job so long. Therefore, never hire such people because they will leave from the job soon.

If there are any differences between the factors he showed and the factors you found through the background check, do not hire such individuals regardless the size of the mismatch.

These tips will help you to differentiate good candidates from bad ones. Hence, use them during any recruitment process to avoid problems.
