On your org chart, there may not be a department called “Recruiting”, especially for a small business.
There needs to be.
You have to be better at recruiting than your competition.
It’s the ultimate competitive advantage.
How are you doing on that?

Hello Larry and all,
It is great to hire ‘good people’ but it is just as important to hire a round peg for a round hole. Some can adapt but many times the mis-cast is a path to failure and hard feelings then the process has to start again. So, make sure your recruiter is filling the roll intended and not just because they like the person.

Our strategy is to include one lead person from each of our business disciplines in our interview sessions. We have a large org so it usually consists of 4 round table interviews with 5 interviewers in each session. We then we finalize our thoughts in a roundtable with everyone giving their perspective. Is Interviewing easy? no. I believe it is the most complex thing we do in business. Understanding and Selecting and the right prospect in just a few hours of interviewing knowing this person could be with your team for years – Good or Bad is a very difficult thing to do.
