If you choose to recommend or hire friends and family, take heed

In Ireland, there is an old-fashioned way of saying, "You do not know anyone unless you live with them." That is why I am surprised that innumerable people advise their friends and family to work in the company and they do not know their professional ethics.

Many of us were there - vacancies in work, having you have a friend who is looking for work happens. You recommend him because you want to do good (or because your company offers a bonus to those who recommend you hire.) Then that person gets messed up and the employment manager is responsible for all the actions he did or did, looking at you just as you brought this person.

Even if you pull out you from a building that a friend is personally burning to, it does not mean that he or she will be an excellent employee. Unless you are experiencing this person's job habits directly, I do not recommend that you go out to recommend yourself.

It would be even worse if the manager hired a friend and took over his position. Given the minefield that accompanies the problem, I can not believe that this was done so much. First of all, you have to ask yourself whether you are willing to offer criticism of work to people you normally know only on social occasions. There is no indignation. In other words, if you ask staff / friends if he wants to see beer, you will hear irony, do not be surprised, "I think, but I think my time management skills "As long as you ask yourself, what is the worst result of your work schedule and decide in advance whether you can endure it.

Of course, some managers hire their friends and they really do not care what they do at work. They believe that one of the staff who are not friends will wipe out the mess if he fails. ugly

However, if you are already dead while hiring a friend or family, you will not be disgusted, you can not object to the company's policy.

Please show your expectations from your uncle / tennis opponent / drinking opponent from the beginning. Expected skill set, general turnaround time etc.

You can help employ this person, but you probably can not say anything when a layoff has occurred. Make rules of work behavior; for example, in the workplace, you will not want to be called by the nickname "monkey" as a child. You say "Open the door" but you are not responsible for what is going on inside the building.

The same can be said for people, friends, family, friends, and friends near you. "Helping" It is a mistake to hire someone's children, cousins, or brothers. Instead, tell them the truth. Explain what you are looking for, and if they look right, you can give them a chance. But you have to study this relationship and they can not protect it unless they can deliver - this is the dilemma they encounter when hiring a friend.

If you should not hire friends and family, who is the best co-founder? The person you are looking for needs a differentiated skill, a different network, can not become a friend or family, and needs to be in a different role within the company. How do you find a person you like? You rely on the network for help. The best people to co-discover with them began with former colleagues. You have worked with them as professionals before, so you understand and understand the personality of their business. There is a framework to solve previous relationship problems. This will help solve difficult problems such as stock splits and role sharing. It is unlikely to avoid difficult conversations and create a more harmonious environment.
