Hiring the Right Employee 10 Red Flags to Watch
Out For
With the help of IT Recruitment agency, you can
hire the best employee for your company and set
it up for success. The recruitment agency will
sort through uncountable job applications, go
through innumerable resumes, and schedule
interview only for potential candidates.
But before you announce the final decision, it is
essential that you watch out for these 10 red
flags when hiring a new employee
3
1.
Punctuality
Welcome only those job applicants who are
punctual and respect their as well as your time.
There must not be space for a job applicant who
has come late for the interview or for a meeting
during the hiring process.

2.
Check for the References
An employee is always going to hand you his best
references. It is your duty to check how he
performed his last job. A poor reference would
not help you reach a viable decision. If a
candidate lists friends or co-workers as
references, then surely he has something to hide.

3.
Having No Weaknesses
Every individual in this world is not perfect and
sure to have some weaknesses. If the candidate
answers that he has no weaknesses, then either he
is overconfident or he is still not aware of his
flaws. Such candidates usually lack performing
well in the organization.

4.
Negativity for past Employees or seniors
Bad mouthing or complaining about former employer
or co-workers at a job is an instant red flag. It
shows negativity and confirms that the candidate
can infect the same to other people in your
company

5.
Lack of Preparation
You must ask questions to candidates about the
job, company, and your industry. If the candidate
is able to answer even partially correct, then
this shows that he has put efforts and is serious
about the job. The ones who lack it must not be
the best choice for your hire

6.
Applying for Multiple Positions in One Company
If you have more than one or two vacancies and
the candidate has applied for all of them, then
it is again an immediate red flag. This is
because the candidate might be unfit and
unskilled and hence is so desperate for the job.
Use your judgment wisely as hiring such a
candidate may end you filling no position

7.
Disinterested to Ask Any Questions
An important thing that an intelligent candidate
will do is to ask questions about your company,
its work culture, or other aspects. Asking
questions is a positive sign that the candidate
is an active listener, a keen thinker, and at the
same time willing to work with you on a serious
note. If they dont have anything to ask, then
this is something to wonder!

8.
Lacking Listening Skills
It is normal for a candidate to get puzzled
during an interview. But how would you feel about
a candidate who is least interested to listen? A
candidate with good spoken skills is welcome, but
one with argumentative nature can be a threat to
the company. It is because such candidates would
never listen to what others have to say. At the
same time, they would always argue with their
co-worker, juniors, and even employers over one
or the other thing

9.
Poor Communication Skills
No matter what your job profile is. It is
essential for a candidate to have proper
communication skills. If a candidate is not good
at responding emails, misses the scheduled
meeting calls, or lacks proper communication
skills, then he would always experience issues
working in the team. At the same time, he would
not be a good source for the company working
within departments.

10.
Unprofessional Appearance
If a candidate is dressed unprofessionally, or
enters the workplace with an unprofessional
attitude, then you might have to be more of a
trainer than an employer. Definitely, you would
not want to switch your role! More probably, such
candidates would not be able to perform in the
company under tight deadlines and strict
conditions. Hence, an unprofessional appearance
is a big red flag to check
13
Checking for these red flags during the hiring
process is a must. IT recruitment agency can help
identifying such red flags more precisely. They
even conduct in-depth research about a candidate.
Hence, if you dont have enough time to check for
such red flags in a new candidate, then it is
always best to hire services of a reputed
recruitment agency.
