When you're trying to get that winning client to sign on the dotted line with your business, it's important that you pull out all the stops when wooing them. 

Rather than simply bringing them in for an interview, you need to get creative and do your research at the same time. With this in mind, keep reading so that you can apply these tips and reel in the most attractive star employees. 

#1: Make A Weekend Out Of It

Many employers make the mistake of holding an interview, and maybe a dinner, and letting that be that. 

When you're bringing someone new onboard, you need to not only get a feel for them in the office, but take the time to learn them as a person. By planning a weekend of interviews, meetings and events, you will truly be able to get a feel for them. 

Flying them out and putting them in a hotel in your city's downtown area or any part of town with business and nightlife shows that you take them serious as a candidate, and that this isn't just a whim. You want them to feel comfortable and welcomed, so that they can be themselves and enjoy the visit as a whole. 

Make sure that you have someone on staff that is the point person for making sure your recruit has everything that they need for the weekend. Set up a schedule to have them interview with every manager in different settings. For instance, some interviews can be held in-office, while others can take place during casual lunches. 

Plan out some social time at dinner to get a feel for their vision and to share yours. When your candidate feels this amount of effort, they'll know that your company is serious about the way it treats employees. 

#2: Learn How You Can Serve, While Quizzing Them On Their Ability To Do The Same

Simply put, a company that is filled with people ready to serve will always be successful. Ancient philosophers would refer to this as the Law of Compensation, which states that you get back what you give. 

However, a company that wins gives out of a personal code, rather than simply looking to receive every step of the way. Make this a benchmark to check for when speaking to your candidate. When you have someone willing to come early and stay late, and to do more than asked, you'll never have to worry about your office being energized and productive. 

With this said, it's on you to take the first step by serving them first. Learn their needs and address them with vigilance. For instance, if they need to find daycare, housing, recreation, or have any other needs, dispatch your resources to take care of it to the fullest of your capability. 

Get the ball rolling on this without waiting for them to commit to the company. They'll get a feel for your authentic willingness to help, and this will most definitely factor into their decision to want to join the culture you have set. 

#3: Map Out The Next 5 Years

Finally, it's important for you to have vision for their contributions, and make sure that they have vision for themselves. 

Ask about where they see themselves in 5 years, and fill them in on how your company can help with that. By taking the time to offer your insight and to show them how you can help them achieve their goals, your candidate will be more likely to want to join the team. 

Take advantage of these tips and you'll always be putting your best foot forward when bringing in new employees.
