Making the Right Hire-Thinking More Broadly About What's Important in the Recruiting Process

Great companies are made of great people. Yet all too often we read about—or experience—the negative impact of a bad hire. Money, productivity, client success and staff morale can all suffer. Of course, we don’t intend to make a bad hire. But multiple priorities and pressing deadlines make us myopic in the recruiting process. We just want to fill the role, and we focus only on a candidate’s technical skill. While determining a candidate’s technical competency is important, relying strictly on those skills may not result in the individual’s nor the firm’s long term success.
