Death by Interview - Secret to Hiring the Right Employees

All businesses want to hire the right employees. To achieve this objective some will use quirky problems or puzzles they think will highlight the creative and enthusiastic candidates. They spend thousands of dollars on multiple interviews thinking that surely, somewhere during the sixth interview, the candidate’s actual personality will be (inadvertently) divulged. The desire to get good information from interviews is understandable since most managers have made at least one expensive hiring mistake that cost thousands of dollars to fix and led to bad outcomes for the team and clients. In this article, we will attempt to demystify the hiring process and provide tips on making a successful hire.
