When comparing candidates, consider that the most experienced candidate may not be the most qualified. Team members need to not only contribute to the process, but gain from it as well. An employee who starts a job knowing everything might not be challenged, and could end up getting restless and wandering off to another company. What candidates with fewer skills lack in experience they may make up for in a capacity to learn, as well as the ability to manage projects and communicate well - a profile that truly benefits a team. Provide training and challenges to help employees realize their potential.
Employers can mold capable employees into team leaders or trainers for a long-term benefit.
Develop an internship program One way to fight employee burnout is to recognize jobs with the lowest ceilings on creativity, and create a company internship program around those tasks. Tasks that may seem repetitive to experienced Web developers provide an opportunity for interns to learn basic Web skills and gain professional experience. In return, necessary work is done at a smaller cost to your company. Although the interns themselves may not be part of your permanent Web team, an intern program is part of a smart staffing strategy. In exchange, interns leave with positive things to say about their experience with your company, or return at a later date, becoming permanent hires.
