Is Your New Recruit a Good Fit for the Position?

New Recruit

 

The two most difficult decisions human resources professionals must make with regard to a recruit are the decision to hire them and the decision to keep them or let them go at the end of their probationary period.

 

Determining the candidate’s skill and experience is usually a relatively straightforward process. What is complicated is determining after the hire whether or not the new recruit is a good fit for the position.

 

In their early weeks of employment with your firm, it is vital to be able to determine whether or not the recruit is fitting in with the corporate culture and the team with whom they must work.

The Line Between Smart and a Know-It-All

By Cyndi V

 

Reaching for my hand, my patient looked at me desperately. She was working mightily to catch her breath, her eyes wide with fear, her short blonde hair plastered to her forehead with sweat. Her heart rate raced away on the monitor, climbing 196–205–222, with anything above 120 becoming concerning to us ER folks.

 

There wasn’t a lot of time before her heart would get fatigued and she would lose consciousness. Working quickly, the three of us already in the room, veteran ER nurses, did everything we knew to do in this case. The medication to reset her heart hadn’t worked. She was working too hard, and we knew the only option was going to be to shock her.

 

Our ER doc and the resident had left the room to check on someone next door as we set up. We had our patient on high-flow oxygen, the sticky pads that would deliver electricity placed on her chest and left side. We called out to the doctor, who came back in and said confidently for the benefit of his resident, “We ready to go?”

 

We were always ready.
