Hiring Staff Based on Ability

When conducting a job interview, there will be multiple things you are looking out for. One of them is likely to be how good a fit the person is for your business. Another will be their ability. Whilst it might be easy to associated ability with the experience that someone has of the exact job you are hiring for, this isn’t always the most productive way to hire people. Someone can have a natural ability to do a job, without having the exact experience.

This can be harder for you to asses in an interview, but it’s possible if you ask the right questions. You could ask how someone would approach the kinds of situations you need them to deal with, and ask them to solve problems similar to real life ones. This will show you how they handle situations and give you an insight into their levels of intelligence. Don’t assume that a lack of experience means a lack of ability.
