11-21-23 - Don’t Destroy Your Chances of Hiring the Right Candidate
FEATURE
To get the right candidates, you need to alight the job description with the actual need for the position.
Also, avoid giving your candidates a poor experience in the overall process from interviewing to onboarding.
Finally, don’t hire reactively, i.e., for short-term needs. Think about your long-term needs instead.
Today’s conversation is based on the blog post, “8 Things That Can Cause You To Hire The Wrong Person.”
