The hiring process is not an easy one. Acquiring the right employee is contingent on the level of skills, cultural fit and ability to be a team player, and the high cost of a bad hire means you'll want to limit mistakes.

Being too narrow in your search

One of the biggest mistakes in hiring is not having a diverse slate of candidates, try to Think of diversity of age, experience, background, race and gender, all of which help bring diversity of thought.

First impression matters

Noted that employers frequently judge candidates on whether or not they like them, as opposed to matching their strengths with the responsibilities of the position. While you can't know for sure how a new employee will perform once hired, you can mitigate the risk of a bad hire by not factoring first impressions into your decision.

Not knowing what you want

Don't hold the expectation of interviewing candidates with a clear frame of what they want, when you might not. Being misleading or unclear about any part of the job can lead to a potentially bad hire.

Having an unclear hiring policy

One of the most critical mistakes a company can make is failing to define its hiring policies before beginning an employee search. An unclear policy can confuse the hiring managers and candidates at best, or invite legal troubles at worst, especially when it comes to contract workers and exempt versus nonexempt employees.

Forgetting to highlight culture

One of the biggest errors you can make is not showcasing a company’s style and culture, which can include benefits. Most of us are spending more time at work than we are with our families and friends, so people are seeking an environment where they feel comfortable or certain benefits that will work with their personal lives.
