Matthew Schenk Talks About Hiring Employees That Are Passionate

It would be best if you always wanted to find employees who will benefit your company. If you’re looking to hire new employees soon, ensuring that you get passionate employees could be worthwhile. How do you go about hiring passionate employees? Matthew Schenk will share several tips that will simplify finding your desired employees.

Essay Questions

Most job applications are very straightforward and offer simple questions requiring basic answers. These are fine, but you should have more nuanced questions to attract passionate employees. Essay questions in the job application process will allow you to identify job candidates who are particularly passionate about the field. You can seek out people with exciting answers or who match your vision for the company.

Office Tours

Another good idea is to take your job candidates on a tour through your office. This can give job candidates an extraordinary idea of what to expect at your company. It also allows you to gauge whether job candidates are genuinely passionate. It would help if you offered office tours to job candidates who have done well in the interview process and who you might be interested in hiring.

“Absolutely” or “Absolutely Not” Rule

You can also implement a simple “absolutely” or “absolutely not” rule on hiring people. If you are so optimistic about a candidate that hiring them is a no-brainer, that works out great. If someone is an absolute no from everyone on the hiring team, you know they aren’t a good fit. Anyone who falls into the maybe category must not be that passionate about the job or not be quite everything you’re looking for.

People Who Ask Questions

Finally, looking for job candidates who ask many questions while remaining engaged in the process will be prudent. If someone is interested in what you say and seems to want to work for you, that is a sign of passion. You’re more likely to find a good employee who will be passionate about the company if you’re looking for stuff like this. Be mindful of what the job candidate asks, and look for these signs of passion.
