Differentiate Good Candidates From Bad Ones

By Joseph Jacob


The right candidates are not readily available for job openings. Hence, all the companies put their highest attempt to discover the best by testing their job applications. However, most of the companies end up with bad candidates who carry a number of troubles.

Due to this issue, selecting a person by only checking the application should not be done. It is important to select one through a series of interviews and background checking processes. Recruiters can follow various tactics to identify good candidates. Here are some few tips to differentiate good applicants from bad ones.

Good candidates appear in interviews on time. Punctuality of an individual says lots of things about his behavior. If an individual performs punctually, he knows the cost of time and he also respect to the interviewer's time. If someone does not come on time for interviews, the prospect of getting the same attitude is high when he performs.

If someone has relevant job experiences and education qualifications, he can be identified as an excellent one. We cannot anticipate brilliant works from an individual who know nothing about the job he is being going get. It is essential to examine the background of the candidate for relevant job experiences without only accepting the factors in his CV.

Check the verbal and nonverbal communication of candidates and identify the best. Good applicant maintains a good body language. They have a good personality and professional attire. People with lack of interest on what the employer says during the interview and poor eye contacts cannot be considered as good candidates. The good ones always maintain perfect eye contacts, gestures and interest on what others talk.

Good candidates do not have police records at all. So, it is essential to execute a criminal history analysis of all candidates.

Good candidates are enthusiastic about their tasks. You can clearly see their passion and the energy they have to do their best.

If someone has different career paths in his past track records, or if someone says that he wants to go through a completely different path, he will not retain in the job so long. Therefore, never hire such people because they will leave from the job soon.

If you have found several differences during the history check, and if you have understood that he has provided some incorrect information, don't seek the services of such candidates even those mismatches are small.

These guidelines will assist you to distinguish excellent applicants from bad ones. Therefore, apply them during any recruitment to stay away from issues.
