Hiring your competitor’s rejects
The first step in hiring better is stop hiring your competitor’s rejects. You accomplish this by hiring aptitude instead of experience. Skill can be learned. Find those who learn quickly and then train them. Here are some resources to create a better hiring process to discover your future superstars:
- Aptitude testing
- Personality profiling
- Standardized interviews (i.e. stop the gut-based hiring)
- Video FAQs in lieu of the initial job interview (see automatedhiringprocess.com for an example)
