A mere second is taken when you need to form an
opinion about someone. The time frame is really small as how can you know about
someone in just a mere few seconds. How can you figure out they are competent
and reliable in their respective field? In a lot of ways to form opinions about
someone might seem counterproductive, but this is the manner by which human
nature operates. In the manner by which we cannot hide away from human
assessments, the manner by which you formulate a first-hand opinion about
someone outlines on how the relationship works in the days to come. Indeed, it
is very difficult to change that perception.

Human
resources cannot be termed as a mere intake process

If you do possess your own business or even work in HR
department of a company, you might be aware that first impressions have a lot
of value when a candidate walks in through the door. The manner in which they
are dresses, how they speak and even the grooming methods have a definite say-
a combination of all these factors have an important say in how you feel about
an individual or whether they are going to be a good fit for your company. This
should not be the case.

If you did not have time to iron your shirt as you
will running late for an interview, an organization is now going to consider a
lot of thought into this as far as job performance evolves. Even if you did
forget to bring your resume still, it is not a big deal as they might have a
copy of it in their email or a print out with them. But the question is going
to arise if you did go on to forget something basic about an organization.

The point of consideration is you have to accurately
gauge a candidate once they enter into an organization. Many candidates in a HR
domain form an opinion about a candidate as this is really important to the
success of your firm.

You do not
seem to be the only judge in question

Sadly, many HR professionals do not pay a lot of
attention to the first hand impression about a candidate they find out. Just
think about it as the stakes might be really high when you are going to hire
someone in your organization the pressure that is being put on the candidate
seems to be even greater. What would be the case if the company is not the
right fit for them? What about the case where they might be having more
opportunities and even go on to shop about various services before they end up
at a final decision. When you are working for a company how it will look on
your resume in the future.

After all it is not about money always. In case of job
applicant it is about finding an organization that treats them in an honest
way. It is even about finding a company that might not go out of business in a
few weeks. If they end up making a wrong decision it might pose to be a real
cause of concern in the days to come.

Now why this is important for you? An organization
would not want to lose a candidate just because they did not like your
organization. Even a worse situation is a candidate accepts an offer and does
not aim to stay there for a longer period of time. You might be spending weeks
or months to hire them and not planning to avail a couple of weeks’ notice in
quick succession.

Cashing in
on employee assessments so as to work towards a positive business impression

Now how you are planning to deal with this problem?
Some of the steps that you tend to take can be deemed to be a no brainer that
is to foster a clean and viable office environment and even verbally selling
during the course of an interview process. All these are basics that a self –
respecting HR professional is aware ceases to be a must. But what are
overlooked here are the actual assessment and even the hiring process.

Just think on the lines that everyone wants to go for
a job interview and still wants their job skills to be tested. By incorporating
these procedures as part of the test in an indirect way, you are looking at
recruiting potential candidates.

• This
  shows that you are serious about locating the best talent. The moment you
  introduce a new element to the process of hiring you can take solace from the
  fact that you will be working with experienced professionals and not novices.
• It
  goes on to make the candidate vested. The moment they become part of an
  assessment test, the candidate is provided with a challenge and they do have
  confidence in their abilities to overcome this challenge. Their only challenge
  is to impress you and grab the job.
• The
  hire validation is given the feeling that they have the ability to work in your
  company. Once they have gone on to complete the assignments give to them they
  would be comfortable before they start off with their job and are going to
  focus all their attention on the job. They would not devote their time on
  worrying about things that does not have any relation to the needs of your
  company.
• When
  you are having assessment skills, it does make your company look organized and
  flexible. It provides an expression of an organization that is really aware on
  what the needs are.
