Let’s face it. Hiring decisions are some of the most critical
decisions that an employer makes. Even under the best circumstances, the
costs of training and orienting a new employee are significant. A poor
hiring decision increases those costs dramatically. Nonetheless, in many
organizations the selection process is haphazard, with time crunched
managers squeezing interviews into an already crowded schedule. The stakes
are too high. Take the time to review the hiring process and give guidance
to those who will interview the candidates – it will yield a better
hiring decision and facilitate an easier transition for the organization
and the new employee.
