Do not hire someone just because you need to fill a vacant position or your superiors have asked you to do so. Analyze the background of an individual thoroughly. Try to find out why someone really wants to join your organization? Remember money should not be the only criterion why someone wants to change and join a new organization. An individual who has been assigned the role of acquiring new talents should not forget to check an applicant’s past experience, interests, professional qualification and reasons for changing previous job.

Do not load someone with unnecessary information, the very first day he steps into the organization. Believe me, he will run away. Make him feel comfortable. Ask him/her not to bring lunch from home. Order lunch from outside and ask all his team members to have lunch together. Such small initiatives go a long way in breaking ice among team members.

Human Capital Management helps in training the employees and making them indispensable resource for the organization. Motivate employees to take up special courses or online programs which would help them in their job.

Internet is also one of the good options to keep oneself abreast with the latest developments.
