A perfect list from HR Chally Group via Recruiting.com:
- Relying on an Interview to Evaluate a Candidate
- Using Successful People as a Model
- Setting Too Many Criteria
- Evaluating “Personality” instead of Job Skills
- Using Yourself as an Example
- Not Using Statistically Validated Testing
- Not Researching the Reasons People Have Failed in a Job
- Relying on General “Good Guy” Criteria
- Not Doing A Careful Background Reference Check
They are all excellent points and ones that we have experienced first-hand with our customers. Pay special attention to numbers 1, 2 and 5. Those are the most common mistakes we see in our daily experience.
