The 6 key characteristics of every new hire:
1. Great organisational skills!
People with these skills are often perfectionists and they will always try their best for you. As an entrepreneur, small business owner or start up – details are critical. You can’t afford stupid mistakes as these will cost you time & money and potentially customers.
2. Passion /Enthusiasm!
How much do they want the job and love the industry? Do they live, eat and breathe it? Passion and Enthusiasm at work creates rewarding experiences in itself. It keeps people motivated and drives them to be innovative, allowing your business to grow.
3. Dedication !
Are they willing to work late nights? How many hours per week can they work. If over time was available would they take it? Are they prepared to work late if needs must and you have a lot on? Find this out upfront to save problems further down the line.
4. Desire!
When interviewing a potential employee ask them how badly they want the job. If they really want it you’ll be able to tell by the passion & enthusiasm in their voice (especially if they have passion & enthusiasm as in point 2). You don’t really want someone who’s looking to pass time until they find a better job?
5. Relevant Experience or relevant transferable skills!
Most employers put experience 1st but if staff have the first 4 characteristics a lot of skills can be learnt and ultimately you can teach them ‘your way’ of doing things. Choosing industry experience is a safe way of doing things but sometimes trying out of industry candidates can give you a fresh approach or out of the box thinking.
6. A willingness to adapt!
Business is fast paced these days and you have to be willing to adapt and try new things. If people are not willing to adapt and move along with the pace of your business they will eventually hold you back.
