Page 38: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

To hire a great team,

stop the following mistakes…

Page 39: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

You ask the wrong interview

questions

Mistake #1

Page 40: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

Because that’s what everyone else is

doing

That’s what you were taught

That’s what you had experienced

You never REALLY knew they were the

wrong questions

Why do you ask the wrong

questions?

Page 41: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

Questions that are not directly and 100% job

related

Questions the candidates probably rehearsed

Questions the candidate can easily predict

what the “right answer” is

Questions that just seem cool

(and maybe Google is using…)

What questions shouldn’t

you ask?

Page 42: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

Here are some examples:

Do you have a car?

What are your greatest strengths and

weaknesses?

How would you approach an angry

customer?

What is the next number in the following

sequence: 10, 9, 60, 90, 70, 66..?

I promise to give you the answer at the end..

Page 43: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

In the past…

I used scenario-based interviews

They gave me pretty good results

Still had some surprises on the job

Page 44: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

Now…

With the interviews I use now:

I have ZERO surprises

What I expect to see on the job, is

absolutely accurate!

Page 45: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

You use irrelevant selection

criteria

Mistake #2

Page 46: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

One spelling error

Didn’t respond to an email within 24

hours

Has a visible tattoo

(although they will not face clients)

You strike out a candidate

because:

Page 47: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

Make absolutely certain that

everything you use is

100% job related

You need a clear blueprint of the job

and what it takes to be successful

Page 48: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

Sometimes it’s pretty obvious

No brainer…

Page 49: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

In the past…

I used what made sense

I looked at what other people told

me to

I looked at things that were easy for

me to see

Page 50: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

Missed some HUGE signs

Didn’t look at the deep

characteristics that predict

performance

Page 51: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

Now…

I have a complete Success Profile

before I do anything else

Compare each candidate against

that Success Profile

Page 52: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

You hire people that are just like

you

Mistake #3

Page 53: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

Very hard to resist

You have become successful

because of who you are

You understand them well

BUT…

Page 54: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

Is someone like you REALLY the

best person for the job?

Page 55: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

How much more value will you get

from someone who is different?

More creativity

Other points of view

Test your own ideas

Get more unique suggestions

Page 56: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

Always focus on finding the best

person for the job

Of course….

It is important that you like the

person

But, make sure you like them

FOR THIS JOB!

Page 57: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

Not clear on what you are hiring for

Not clear what it takes to be

successful

Mistake #4

Page 58: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

A fundamental cornerstone!

Page 59: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

You must have a

clear and detailed description

of the job

Page 60: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

A complete list of every single task

This isn’t a job ad

Just a working document that will

guide you later through the process

Page 61: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

Then…

You must have a clear definition

of what it takes to be

successful!

Page 62: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

This is

ALWAYS

ABSOLUTELY

POSITIVELY

FOREVER

the first thing you do before anything

else

Page 63: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

Get clear on what you are

looking for

Page 64: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

It will guide you through every

step in the process

Page 65: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

I am mentioning it last so it is

freshest in your mind

Page 66: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

Wishful thinking

You really want it to work

Bonus Mistake #5

Page 67: Hire Like A Pro: How to Avoid the 4 Fatal Hiring Mistakes That Almost Everyone Makes

www.spotlightleadership.com

For some,

just being aware of the mistakes

will be enough

That’s great!!
