The key to every company’s future, no matter its size, is the people it hires today.  You improve your odds of hiring the best people by adopting the BusinessCPR™ New Hire Process.  Click here to learn more about this process.

The setup for the determining step in hiring the best people lies in the candidate interview.  Using a structured interview guide such as the BCPR Key Question or Job History guide helps you avoid asking too many general questions that result in superficial answers that fail to give the needed depth of understanding to recognize a weak candidate.  Your goal during the interview is to use an interview guide to prompt the job candidate to give you specific answers that help you assess their fit for your company and the position.  Their inability to give specifics – shows you they are not someone to hire.

The most important step in the BusinessCPR™ New Hire Process is to complete the following Post Interview Assessment soon after the candidate’s job interview concludes.  Here is where you pause and reflect on 10 key indicators of a potential hire fit with your company and the role you need them to perform.  Through the interview scoring process, you will confirm whether you should hire the candidate or pass on them.

Should you have multiple people interview a candidate, the post-interview assessment needs to be completed by each interviewer in preparation for determining whether you will extend an employment offer or pass on a candidate.  Do this because the best way to improve business profitability and cash flow is to hire the best people.

For most businesses, the difference between making what a business should and what it did is a function of who gets hired into a business and retained by management.  A poor hire not only costs you significant money.  They make it difficult for your best employees who must work with them.  Use the following post-interview assessment to help you avoid this costly mistake by taking more care to hire an employee than you would to borrow money to buy a high-priced asset you expect to make “big” money by acquiring.

You are not alone …
