How to fill-in a position with qualified candidates?

This is a million dollar question. You have found a potential candidate. You have decided to make an offer to the person. Now consider the other side. The candidate should be interested to accept the offer. Sometimes, the candidate may have a wavering mind.

You need to act quickly to persuade the prospect to accept the offer. If the candidate is hesitating to acknowledge your offer, then you need to convince the person. Find out the reason behind the candidate’s delay and try to resolve the cause.

If the candidate is looking for a higher salary, you can convince the person by explaining about the perks and other benefits. But, it may always not be the money. Sometimes, the candidate may be concerned about job security, career growth, opportunities to work with latest technology etc. In such cases, you can explain how your company and the job position may suit the potential candidate’s expectations.

As the competition for highly-qualified candidates is high, you should be fast enough in making the offer and hiring the right person.
