People always say they can’t find enough good employees. While that’s become more of a problem with the low unemployment rate, it doesn’t mean there aren’t good applicant’s out there. Part of the problem is that most hiring managers aren’t clear what exactly they mean by ‘good applicant’. Of all the things they look for, being passionate about the opportunity is right up there among the most important attributes: problem is, you can’t just ask if an applicant’s passionate. In lieu of that, try watching when you meet them: do they seem genuinely interested? And when you ask a question, the way they answer is as important as what they say: it’s easy to see if they’re excited about what they’re saying rather than just going thru the motions. Nothing is as important as passion: no matter what you want in a new employee, make sure they’re passionate about what they do and where they might work. Always be on the lookout and make sure you hire passionate people today.
