The Problems With Hiring

There are several key factors that are the cause of most hiring errors:

• Presentation is valued more than performance. There is more focus on the emotional aspects of how one feels about the candidate rather than on measuring the candidate’s job performance.
• Most interviewers do not know the job. There is a lack of true understanding of what performance is required in order to ensure success for a new hire.
• Good candidates aren’t necessarily good in an interview.
• There are not enough quality candidates to consider. In order to hire top quality candidates, you have to find them. Internet recruiting is typically not the answer.

Several Errors Result:

• Hire people who are partially competent
• The best candidates are excluded from the pool
• Will not retain top people if none are hired

Hiring effectiveness means getting the right pool of applicants, selecting the best candidate from the pool, closing the best candidate on the best terms, and keeping the best in your organization.
