8 signs that you’ve discovered the right candidate for your organization

• Honest candidate

A popular saying goes, “Honesty is the best policy.’’ This adage stands true forever. The right candidate does not lie about their experience, skills, and qualifications during the self-introduction stage of the interview. They are honest about the tasks they can perform well and convey the same during the interview stage. Since they are honest, they are confident about their profile. This is the first and foremost behavioral trait quintessential for every candidate. Dishonest candidates cannot be trusted, even if they are good in their skills.

• Communicates clearly

Having clear expectations from the company, the role, and the kind of work   that the candidate hopes to do while working at the company are signs that the candidate is willing to communicate clearly. Clear communication represents clarity of thought, which shows how they approach problems in the workspace. In addition, this indicates that they will communicate well with their colleagues/teams and clients efficiently when they join the organization.

• Brings new ideas

If a new hire brings innovative ideas to the organisation, it shows that they are aligned with the company’s goals and are ready to bring a fresh perspective to their tasks. They are not limited to working in a limited matrix and will help the company succeed in the long run by bringing innovation to the organization.

• Knowledgeable & Skilled 

The new hire possesses the required knowledge about the field they are applying for, such as content writing, graphic designing, marketing or finance, etc. In addition, they are skilled in applying their knowledge to accomplish the tasks related to the job role.

•  Enthusiastic about the job role

The candidate must be enthusiastic about the new job role and demonstrate  interest in it. During the self-introduction stage of the interview, the candidate may talk about their accomplishments at previous companies and what they wish to accomplish at the company where they are interviewing.

• Asks the right questions

The right candidate will ask relevant questions, which reflect his/her psychology and thought process. For example, the right candidate may wish to know more about the working culture at the company, working hours, key performance indicators, growth opportunities, etc.

• The candidate is aligned with the company’s goals & the job role

If the candidate shows signs that their professional goals align with that of the organization and really seek to make a career in the said role in the long term, they may make the right fit for the given role. 

• The interview flows well

Lastly, if you have interacted with the candidate, and the interview flows freely like a discussion, it is a sign that the interview flows well. If communicating with the candidate feels like a two-sided discussion instead of a one-way conversation, it’s a major sign that you’ve met the right candidate.
