Our latest article on “The Real Value of Hiring ‘A’ Players” reminds us that, in hiring, just like school and most other things in life, it pays to do your homework.
Many organizations fail to hire ‘A’ Players because they put too much stock in candidates’ track records with other organizations, and fail to understand that unless the factors that drove success in those organizations are the same in your organization, they may not produce the same results.
When you understand what the key drivers of success in your organization are, you can identify those traits in your candidates and develop those employees who show potential, increasing your chances of a good hire and a long, rewarding partnership.
