New staff 'need to be a good fit'

Organisations looking to take on a new member of staff, such as a sales recruitment candidate, need to ensure that the employee will fit in well with their organisation, it has been claimed.

That is the opinion of Marc Lawn, managing director of thebusinessgp.com, who said that companies which fail to identify a prospective worker who will not fit in during the interview process could encounter problems.

It is vital that a person has experience in the sector they are being employed in, he pointed out, but he also noted that an ability to fit in with the team is an essential trait which is sometimes overlooked.

The expert commented: "Depending on the role you want that individual to play within a team, you have to take a lot more consideration of not just the functional expertise that you're trying to bring in but also the role that individual plays within the organisation."

Recently, Mr Lawn said that the use of interim sales managers and other part-time leaders is continuing to grow due to a number of factors, including their availability at short notice.
