You look at your job description and wonder, will any of the resumes that come across your desk be able to fill this role? And how do you choose? Resumes are just a snapshot, but there are so many details to consider when making a hiring decision. When you hire the right person the first time, there are so many benefits. You won’t need to spend time replacing the position and training is more cost effective if it happens only once. So here’s how making the best hiring decision will help your marine company.
A good employee will help your business grow.
A good and dedicated employee will be interested in the company’s long-term goals as well as their own personal goals. By hiring the right person, you can have a loyal employee who will be interested in being a part of your team, not just someone who want to collect a paycheck.
The right skills cut down on training costs.
By ensuring that your new employee has the right skills to perform the job, you’re going to cut down on training costs. You may need to demonstrate how your company wants something completed, but otherwise, they are able to hit the ground running.
An employee who wants the job will be dedicated.
Speaking of wanting the job, you want someone who is interested in working for you specifically, not just any company. They will build their employer loyalty and become an integral part of the team. This isn’t something that everyone will be able to do, so look for a background with loyalty to employers.
Use an onboarding program to help with orientation.
When you make a hiring decision, don’t forget to onboard your new employee with your company culture. Many companies focus on the technical training but fail to share the insights about working with the team, the expectations, and the motivation.
Work with a staffing agency to find the right fit.
If you’re concerned about finding the right new employee for your marine company, working with a staffing agency can help you make the right hiring decision. A company that specializes in shipyard placements can use their candidate pool to find the right person at the right time.
