Additional Information
Let’s be honest… a lot of hiring gets done based on nothing other than a gut feeling. Assumptions. Intuition. And a lot of employee turnover results because of that gut feeling, that assumption, that intuition just wasn’t very accurate.
The person who seemed so perfect in the interview couldn’t get the job done. That person with the pleasant personality really didn’t have the job skills you needed. The candidate who had a fast answer to every question during the interview couldn’t take the fast pace on the job.
If you’re like most managers, one of your greatest fears is that you’ll hire the wrong person. You want to hire the person who, ultimately, will be the most successful in the job. You know that your operation will function more smoothly and will be more productive if the right person is in the right job.
