Avoid These 5 Mistakes While Hiring A PCB Designer (And Drive Remarkable Results)
Are you sure whether you hired the right PCB designer or not?
You realized the need for a PCB designer in your team or thought of outsourcing a PCB Design Partner Company and posted the recruitment on social media handles and other popular job portals.
Boom! Received tons of applications, filtered potential candidates, and took a 15-20 minute interview. Finally, you hired a candidate.
But do you think he/she is the right candidate? Most often, companies miss potential candidates and design partners. So, what should you do to hire top talent?
It’s simple- Avoid the below-given 5 mistakes.
#1. Asking For A Work Experience
Focusing merely on the candidate’s broad experience to judge their efficiency is the #1 mistake to avoid.
What To Do Instead?
“Ask for a portfolio that showcases one’s talent and passion for the products/services you are developing.”
#2. Forming A Quick Opinion
You cannot know a person’s efficiency in a 15-minute interview. So, there isn’t any point in forming post-haste opinions.
So, What To Do Instead?
“Access their technical know-how and approach. “
Even if the candidate cannot convince you in an interview, they perhaps excel in the creative thinking required for innovation.
#3. Looking For A All-In-One Candidate
Jack of all trades is a master of none. That’s why hiring a specialist rather than an amateur is better than claiming knowledge or mastery of all the domains.
What To Do Instead?
“Hire candidates/team with the specific expertise you’re looking for.”
#4. Asking For a Resume/CV
Although a CV and resume brief about the candidate’s capability, it’s not always the case.
What To Do Instead?
“Ask for the latest projects he/she has been working on to know the current status.”
#5. Neglecting Soft Skills
Examining technical and designing skills alone isn’t enough to sustain in the modern era.
What to do instead?
“Check for soft skills(After all, they are as important as technical knowledge).”
