You should not have hired him, but you felt a connection and he wanted the job so badly. Sounds familiar? You’re not alone. These mismatches come with sky-high costs, frustrated colleagues, and unwanted staff turnover. And it takes a lot of energy. This has to change, but how do you recognize the ideal employee?
Don’t make the mistake in choosing a unicorn or clones from you. Don’t let your own bias lead you. You should choose the excelling candidate who matches with the function and colleagues. You can find them by looking beyond their resumés, because people are more than their knowledge and experience. With an open view, you get the people who enjoy working for you and deliver actual value to the goals of your organization.
In The Perfect Match you learn how to avoid your prejudices, the criteria with which you can select your dream candidate, and how to make sure that your new employees don’t run away screaming but can evolve to the key factor of the success of your company.
