Hiring goes both ways: Professor suggests relationships most important part of job search, success

The task of hiring new help can be just as daunting as the task of finding a job. After employers wade through stacks of resumes and find the perfect employee, there are several practices they can put in place to help ensure their new hire will be a productive part of the business.

Mentoring can enhance new employees’ performance by giving them confidence and helping them fully integrate into a workplace, says University of Montana associate professor of management Bambi Douma. Douma, who has a Ph.D., has been at UM’s School of Business since 2003.

On the flip side, Douma notes, new hires can help themselves shine in a job by being a "sponge" and "soaking up" as much knowledge about its operations as possible.

Building relationships from both ends, as an employer and employee, will help everyone. "Relationships get things done in business," Douma writes.
