It’s beyond sobering to think of the cost when a senior level hire goes bad.

Building a great team is essential, but a hiring misstep can derail you and threaten your competitive edge. To avoid a scenario or pattern of “misfire hires,” utilize a well-planned, deliberate approach.

Know What You Want
Often, managers have a general idea of what a job requires, but have not thought through the specific skills, knowledge, experience and personality needed for success.

Take Your Time – But Stay on Track
Keep your hiring process efficient. Never rush or cut corners, despite pressure to fill a position “yesterday.” At the same time, keep the momentum going and keep candidates in the loop from start to finish.

Perfect Your Interview Process
Be well prepared for on-site interviews. Your pre-screening should be complete, so you can focus your time on the best qualified applicants.
