When you want to accomplish a successful hire, you have to search out applicants that meet certain qualifications. There’s no argument there. Each person must have the skills and experience necessary to take on the position you need filled. All this goes without saying.
 
But there’s a bit more to it. You will also be looking for other characteristics in the person that will show you he or she will be a great employee, and will contribute to your business. After all, you want to expand and meet certain goals. All your employees should help with this in some capacity.

Some of the characteristics you should look for in that ideal applicant are:

• Honesty
• Integrity
• A very positive attitude
• Willing to work hard

These are all very vital to getting that great person who will be a member of your team. If your applicant manifests all these qualities, you can’t miss. Or can you?

There is another attribute that enters in here and one that may very well be the most important one of all.

But what is this most important attribute? What is going to distinguish this particular employee and make them 99.9% more successful at their jobs than any other similarly qualified person?

It’s all in one word – purpose.

What does a person's purpose have to do with being a successful hire?

When your employee has a purpose similar to that of your company, and carries this forward into their job, you have a person who is going to get the work done. And they won’t be doing the work just for a paycheck. They won’t just be a “nice person” who is positive and honest and does what’s required of them, but they will have the intention and fortitude to go above and beyond to get an excellent result. They will strengthen your business and help you expand.
