Hiring Right the First Time – How to Increase Successful Hires and Avoid Costly Mistakes
Most companies consider their people their most valuable asset, which makes employee turnover and mediocre employee performance a profoundly serious and expensive problem for nearly every manager and executive. It begs the question: why do some employees succeed while others fail, quit or stay without producing? Some think inadequate training is to blame or attribute the problem to poor business planning or incompetent managers. However, too frequently the problem starts with poor hiring decisions. These decisions are often made based on a gut-feeling, or experience alone. Such decisions about one's employees would be unforgivable in a professional sports team, where pre-draft scrutiny of star athletes goes into minute detail. And yet comparable decisions take place every day in the business world. Consequently, many bad hiring decisions are made. The cost of the bad hiring decisions is significant. The resulting employee turnover, poor performance, and employee conflicts are expensive problems that many managers and companies struggle with. What can you do to reduce these problems? How can you and your hiring managers make better hiring decisions? What can you do to elevate your organization's performance and save it money?

It was clear that intuition and experience alone were never consistently enough.
