Most people believe the right way to find and hire top talents requires you to evaluate:
- Resumes / CVs
- Grades
- School rank
- Interviews
- References
- Experience
They’re wrong. These 6 things actually kill your hiring.
These 6 things ensure you end up hiring people you don’t want.
Relying on resumes, grades, the prestige of the school someone graduated from, the prestige of the people someone knows (and got references from), and the prestige of the companies someone worked for (or the job “titles” someone had at those companies) are the best way to kill your hiring and make you miss true superstars.
These are the lowest quality, biased pieces of “information” one could get. And that’s the input companies “feed” into their hiring process. As they say in AI, “garbage in, garbage out”.
Remember that even though it’s how most companies do things, it doesn’t mean it’s smart or right. It’s driven fear of change, conformity mindset, and overall lack of vision.
But if you’re into finding true superstars and building a superstar business, you must stand out.
It’s the only way to achieve outstanding results.
