Hiring? Try the crowdsourcing method

There are no easy ways to determine if you’re hiring the right person for a job and, in my opinion, complex approaches to hiring may be still very possible to get the wrong person.

Those who have used regimented hiring methodologies created by behavioral scientists and organizational behavior experts know exactly what I’m talking about. Nothing is better than simply laying down a few basic guidelines, understanding what you’re really looking for, knowing what’s important to you and listening to your gut to maximize your chances of hiring a good and right person.

After learning about the concept of crowdsourcing, I really think it is a effective way. It opens up the employers' eyes to wider resources and make it possible to put the candidates into a more practical and competitive environment. Crowdsourcing promotes creativity and interaction, which is essential for all jobs in a modern society.

The beauty of the application of crowdsourcing in this case is it helps employers see people’s behavior – in this case, how they work in more realistic environment – is strongly indicative of how they will work when they’re your employee. Notice the small stuff like this and you’ll get that gut feel you need to hire the right person.
