Hiring the wrong person can be time consuming and costly, and can hurt morale too. So what are the signs that you may be about to make a mistake?
• Candidates don’t know much about your company when they interview.
• Your leadership style doesn’t meet their expectations.
• Your core priorities differ.
• You have different work/life balance ideas.
• They prefer to work alone.
• They want to move up the ladder quickly.
• They trash former employers.
Other easy signs: They show up late or dress inappropriately for the interview. And here’s the real big test: Would you want to be stuck with them in an airport for 24 hours? (Assuming there’s anyone you want to be with in an airport for that long.)
