Sorry I'm not perfect

In the candidate short market we are facing in Australia, finding the perfect employee can be harder to find than your shadow at night.

When reviewing your selection criteria for your candidate shortlist, most employers set out to tick every box before making that final decision.

Is this being realistic or just dragging out the inevitable of hiring someone than requires some training?

My suggestion is to look at your list of selection criteria and determine which ones are essential and which ones you could do without should you need to. What resources do you have available to train someone in the areas a particular candidate may not possess?  

In our experience, the employers invest some time into up-skilling new employee to fit the needs of your business, you end up with highly motivated, dedicated employees with longer tenure.

Plus new blood equals new ideas!

Now go and find your shadows!
