But this harms organizations long-term. What processes can you apply to ensure an effective recruitment strategy? Hiring and recruitment specialist Cindy Norcott's foremost rule is to hire for culture and train for skill. Documenting and systematizing your core values sets fundamental expectations for potential candidates and new hires, allowing you to evaluate and onboard them accordingly.
