View source for Hiring: Screen candidates with key job elements

Prioritize three key hiring elements to screen candidates: (1) Qualifications--specific qualifi-cations and experience defined in the job description; (2) Ability--hard skills such as computer program knowledge, equipment oper-ations or writing skills as demonstrated by specific authored documents; and (3) Fit--emotional characteristics, emotional intel-ligence, people skills and intuitive abilities such as judgment. Screen candidates by evaluating those with the best match.
