Hiring employees is not similar to picking software. You need to strike the perfect balance between academic
qualifications, experience, and soft skills.
Here are five factors you should keep in mind when staffing. They will help you staff your business with the
right people who can meet your short-term and long-term goals.
1) CREATE A STAFFING PLAN
If you are staffing a new business, you need to create a staffing plan.
The plan should show the roles within the organizations and the exact number of people needed to handle
these tasks. It will indicate the minimum qualifications required for each position. Consider the short-term and
long –term goals. Hire people who will lead the organization towards their realization. Employ people who are
capable of handling the business’s future projects
2) HIRING TECHNIQUE
You need to decide on the strategy you will use to find qualified hires. Which staffing solutions will you use to
recruit, hire, and train your staff? Will you use job fairs or post jobs online?
Your best bet in staffing your company is using job placement agencies. They can help you staff your company
with top talent while screening fake CVs. They will come up with the best strategy for interviewing and pick
the most qualified workers based on your minimum requirements.
ORGANIZATIONAL CONSIDERATION IN STAFFING DECISIONS
3) PROJECTED GROWTH
If you are re-staffing an existing company, you need to assess the company’s growth. It will be based on past trends and
plans for expansion. You do not want to invest time and money recruiting staff only to repeat the same process in less than a
year.
Based on the projected growth and past trends of the company, do you need to add staff or replace the current workers with
growth-oriented employees? While you are at it, hire interns and entry-level employees who will take a beginner’s salary to
perform basic tasks.
4) CARRY OUT A HUMAN RESOURCE INVENTORY CHECK
If you thought only a stock check is necessary for business, you are mistaken. You need to make an inventory check of your
staff’s skills before staffing your company. It will keep you from hiring people with the skills you already have in your
company. You also need to check the number of staff members who are close to retirement age.
Talk to your staff members about the skills and abilities they possess. Observe their previous performance reviews. Based
on your findings, you could help these employees improve on their skills and carry out in-house hiring for your projects, or
hire new staff.
For your staff who are about to retire, use interns. Train them to take over the retirees, and it will eliminate the need for
future hiring and training.
5) REVIEW YOUR WORKPLACE CULTURE
Fifty-seven percent of organizations report experiencing a problem with employee retention. As much as you are trying to
create the perfect workforce to meet your long-term and short term objectives, you need to create the right environment to
reduce staff turnover and retain top talent.
Before staffing your company, ensure that you have an environment that people want to be and work. Visit workshops and
seminars prepared by staffing agencies. Get ideas on how to create the best workplace culture. Get advice from other
company leaders on the best ways to make your employees love working with your organization.
Screening and Selection Method

Definition
Organizational culture has been described as the shared values, principles, traditions, and ways of doing
things that influence the way organizational members act. In most organizations, these shared values and
practices have evolved over time and determine, to a large extent, how "things are done around here.“
Our definition of culture implies three things. First, culture is a perception. It's not something that can be
physically touched or seen, but employees perceive it on the basis of what they experience within the
organization. Second, organizational culture is descriptive. It's concerned with how members perceive
the culture and describe it, not with whether they like it. Finally, even though individuals may have
different backgrounds or work at different organizational levels, they tend to describe the organization's
culture in similar terms. That's the shared aspect of culture.
ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE KEY TO STAFFING FIT
STRONG VS. WEAK CULTURE
All organizations have cultures, but not all cultures equally influence employees' behaviors and actions.
Strong cultures-those in which the key values are deeply held and widely shared-have a greater influence
on employees than do weaker cultures.
Strong
Values widely shared
Culture conveys consistent messages about what's
important
Most employees can tell stories about company
history or heroes
Employees strongly identify with culture
Strong connection between shared values and
behaviors
Weak
Values limited to a few people- usually top
management
Culture sends contradictory messages about what's
important
Employees have little knowledge of company's
history or heroes
Employees have little identification with culture
Little connection between shared values and beliefs
Why is having a strong culture important?
For one thing, in organizations with strong cultures, employees are more loyal than are employees in organizations with
weak cultures. Research also suggests that strong cultures are associated with high organizational performance. And it's easy
to understand why. After all, if values are clear and widely accepted, employees know what they're supposed to do and
what's expected of them, so they can act quickly to take care of problems. However, the drawback is that a strong culture
also might prevent employees from trying new approaches especially when conditions are changing rapidly.

What is cultural fit and why is it important?
What is cultural fit? Cultural fit concerns the extent to which the values, behaviors and attitudes of a company align with
those of an employee or candidate. Just like individuals, businesses have personalities too; many define themselves in the
same way as people.
