How Hiring Best Practices are Evolving

The hiring process has evolved significantly in recent years. Core elements like background checks, employment verification, and reference checks continue to play important roles. However, the evolution is more nuanced. It’s also about finding the right cultural fit.

Rob Sanders, Paychex HR consultant, advises clients in his region on hiring best practices and how to keep pace with important trends. Sanders offers this guidance to explain the benefits of cultural fit and ways to move your own hiring process forward:

“One of the key factors I counsel clients of all sizes and types to consider during the screening, interviewing, and selection stages is cultural fit.
