10 WAYS TO AVOID A BAD HIRE

Making a bad hire can cost time money and take a toll on your current employees conducting. A well-thought-out interview can be the difference between a great hire and a big headache.

Here are some common mistakes that you'll want to avoid while conducting an interview.

1.OVERLOOKING IMPORTANT TRAITS

-try to avoid spending too much time probing specific skills required for a position, but overlooking the traits like critical thinking or initiative that may be harder to develop or come by naturally.

2.ASKING HYPOTHETICAL QUESTIONS

-you will want to avoid asking "how would you handle a problem client" when you should be asking "tell me about a time where you handle a problem client" a real War world experience is always better than a hypothetical one.

3.A common mistake is NOT PROBING PAST WORK HISTORY

-you want to zero in on a prior job that's closely related to your opening and spend quality time will that experience, those details will give you a better idea of how qualified she or he is for the position.

4.Though important another common mistake is TOO MUCH TALK ABOUT THE COMPANY

-don't spend too much time talking about your company. Your purpose is to learn about the candidate, experience, and how they'll fit into your role in the company. Apply the 80/20 rule, 80% listing 20% speaking.

5.DO LIVE TEST

-where possible simulate a live test if you're interviewing a writer give him or her a prompt and ask him to have a paragraph about the subject.

6.INTIMIDATION IS ALSO A COMMON MISTAKE

-there's enough pressure on a candidate during an interview without deliberately adding more, now is the time to see how a candidate responds to high-pressure, intimidating, interviewing tech.

7.ONE SIDED VIEWPOINTS SHOULD BE AVOIDED

-as well be honest with the candidate about the pros and the cons of the job it will help weed out the wrong candidates and create trust with your high potential candidates.

8.DON'T BE INCONSIDERATE OR UNPROFESSIONAL

-if you're late or you have to cancel an interview, apologize, pay attention and don't read emails or accept phone calls during the interview.

9.HIRE SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE NOT PERSONALITY

-Our natural tendency is to hire people we like based on our feeling of connection with them. don't fall into the just like me trap

10. AVOID AVERAGE ATTENTION FOR ABOVE-AVERAGE CANDIDATES

-if you're interested in a candidate let her know during the interview by providing positive feedback follow up with a thank you email within 48 hours.
