Your Desperation leads to Hiring Failure

Barry Deutsch's insight:

Our last of the Top Ten Hiring Mistakes is Desperation Hiring which occurs at about the 4-6 week point when you've only got rejects, deadbeats, and toxic folks in your candidate pipeline. You realize you're probably not going to see any better candidates and you begin to rationalize, dummy-down, sub-optimize hiring a lesser quality person. I have never seen this work out well.

Hiring Mistake #5: Would You Interview the Same as Picking a Heart Surgeon?

Hiring Mistake #5: Would You Interview the Same as Picking a Heart Surgeon? | Hire Top Talent | Scoop.it

A major mistake occurs in the hiring process when interviewing candidates. There is a tendency to equate, extrapolate, and extend experience to be the same as results. There is an enormous gap between experience and results. Historical experience.

Barry Deutsch's insight:

Would you invest the same amount of time, due diligence, and focus as you would if you had to interview heart surgeons to work on you? Probably NOT. Most hiring executives VIOLATE the old adage to hire slowly. Usually, the decision to hire is made with minimal data and information. This error/mistake helps lead to the statistic of 50/50 probability in hiring. When will you no longer accept random results from the hiring and interviewing process?

Barry Deutsch's insight:

As I travel around the country conducting 1-2 workshops a week with CEOs and Senior Executives on our program You're NOT the Person I Hired, the one issue that keeps surfacing over and over is the frustration around finding great candidates for open positions.

10 Compelling Numbers That Reveal the Power of Employee Referrals - ERE.net | Hire Top Talent | Scoop.it

John Sullivan talks about the #1 recruiting strategy to find good talent. In my workshops and seminars I suggest to hiring executives and managers that their target for employee referrals should be at least 50% of all new hires.

Hiring Mistake #9 - Three Ways You Disrespect Top Talent – Why They’ll Never Join Your Team

Hiring Mistake #9 - Three Ways You Disrespect Top Talent – Why They’ll Never Join Your Team | Hire Top Talent | Scoop.it

"Top talent is frequently disrespected during the hiring process, ranging from the initial recruitment to the interview."

Barry Deutsch's insight:

When you're trying to hire the best, whether it's a senior executive or plant custodian, you've got to put your best foot forward in showing the candidate what a wonderful company you are - how you respect employees, engage employees, and create a happy workforce. The interview serves as a great window for candidates to see what you are really like as a company. Why do so many companies blow this opportunity?

The 24 Biggest Recruiting And Hiring Mistakes Most Entrepreneurs Make » CEOWORLD magazine | Hire Top Talent | Scoop.it
When it comes to hiring and onboarding, most businesses blow it. In fact, so many organizations do such a poor job of facilitating the process that many new hires get frustrated their very first day on the job. In order to finish the hiring process on a strong note, you need to prioritize onboarding just …
Barry Deutsch's insight:

Here's the key point buried in this article:

 

From the new hire’s perspective, one of the biggest points of friction has to do with what’s expected of them on the first day.

 

This issue is so horrific for most companies, that we wrote a book a few years ago titled "This is NOT the Position I Accepted".

 

Desire to ensure hiring failure - don't define success before the hire and surprise the candidate after the hire with what they have to do to be successful.

Recruiting Social: Google+ Equals Candidates

Recruiting Social: Google+ Equals Candidates | Hire Top Talent | Scoop.it
Google+, Google’s social network, allows for connecting with people based on interests and offers incredible opportunities for recruiting.

 

Although the author considers Google + to be an effective network for recruiting - I think it's a waste of time to use at this current stage for recruiting. There are much better tools where your investment of time can pay bigger dividends such as LinkedIn. Google+ may emerge in a couple of years as an effective tool - currently it is not useful for recruiting.

Manager Interviewing Skills Cause Hiring Mistakes

Manager Interviewing Skills Cause Hiring Mistakes | Hire Top Talent | Scoop.it
Interviewing remains the most popular assessment for employee screening, but the reliability remains low, often in the 50 percent range.


Ira shares an outstanding story that I see repeated over and over in the vast majority of companies - weak interviewing by hiring managers. This is one of the most critical failure points in the hiring process.


Most companies do a terrible job preparing managers and executives to hire effectively. In most companies, hiring is NOT a process, it's a random set of arbitrary meetings where each individual manager does interviewing in their own misguided way. The minute you turn hiring into a process, train all your managers, and put some rigor behind it - hiring accuracy starts moving up from the traditional low reliability level in the 50% range.
