Did you know that an important consideration for a non-profit or business owners is to place the right people into the positions you need. Sometimes, human error, the stress of running a business or simply the sense that you want to replace the empty position immediately can cause mistakes. Here are a few items to consider when screening potential employees or volunteers:
- Follow all steps in the screening process – do not skip areas to process the applicant faster
- Relying on resumes, or other information provided selectively by applicants, rather than an application form seeking answers needed by the nonprofit/employer for proper screening
- Requesting and reviewing the personal social media sites of applicants without considering the legal risk of learning something about a candidate that cannot be considered in screening
