• Hiring employees can be an expensive and time consuming process, and it is not easy to find expert help. Recruiters charge a lot of money and they may not always have your best interests in mind.
• You need to be absolutely clear about the duties you want the new hire to perform, and about the type of person who will be able to perform the tasks effectively.
• Consider these tips when selecting  a new member of your team:
• Job title - Choose a title that accurately describes the level of responsibility, knowledge, and experience required for the job. This will narrow the field down and make it easier for you to hire the right person. Applicants go through advertisements to try to find job titles that match their qualifications and experience. Recruiters also use standard titles to look for candidates. 
• Consider the standard titles in your industry, for the type of person you want to hire. Think about the hierarchy of your company and the level at which the person will fit in. Use standard titles and add on ‘senior,’ ‘associate’ or ‘junior’ to differentiate the level of the person from that of your other employees.
•  Think about the work you want done and about whether your business can support another employee. Check to see if you are utilizing your present employees effectively.
• Analyze the most important functions that the new employee will be required to perform, and determine the main performance criteria.
• Write a detailed job description that lists the requirements of the job, based on the analysis of the main functions you want the employee to perform.
• Find out about how much you will have to pay to attract talented candidates. To decide about this, you can compare the employee compensation offered to other employees in your business, as well as in other companies in the industry.
• Think about how you will reach the right type of candidates. Advertising is not the only way of informing people about vacancies and getting them to apply.
• Collect as many applications as you can and screen them on the basis of your job description. Select the best applications and invite the applicants for interviews. If you are not able to get enough applications, you may have to use a different method or medium to reach more applicants.
• Be professional and courteous during the interview and ask each applicant a standard set of questions based on your job description. Aggressive listening and non-verbal cues can help you to identify behavior patterns. Take notes to record information relating to your requirements. 
• Analyze all the information gathered during the interviews as soon as possible, so you will not forget the important details. Verify key information provided in the resumes submitted by the applicants and check references, before you finally hire the person you have selected. 

It is essential to go through all the steps to find the right candidate. The preparation before the interview will help to help you to ask the right questions, and make it easier to hire the right person. Look for a candidate who will fit in well with the culture of your company and get along with your other employees.
