Put an End to Expensive Hiring Mistakes

Are you tired of hiring people who seem “nice” but turn out to be troubling employees?

If your answer was “yes” see if any these nightmares seem familiar:

• You begin to notice that your new hire believes that “full time” work means four days a week.

• The new RN can’t get along with the entire back office staff and “no one there understands their jobs.”

• The cash drawer suddenly seems short at least weekly.

If this is the case, you have several choices. You can keep doing what you are doing in your hiring process. That will typically produce more of the same result. Or, you can stop relying on intuition and start using the type of screening tools that are used by large companies to help detect those who have habits that don’t fit into your work force.

SELECT is one such tool. What does Select measure? Productive attitude, energy level, attention to detail, multi-tasking, self-reliance, task focus, interpersonal insight, criticism tolerance, acceptance of diversity, self-control, integrity. This tool is completed at your office at the first interview. Candidates who fall outside the acceptable ranges are typically not worth the additional time and effort of second interviews. It’s a time saver for you! And, it only takes the candidate 10 minutes to complete. If you have Internet access at the office, you can have them take it online, right at the computer; a paper version is also available.

FREE BONUS: Here are five questions you can use in your interviewing, even if you don’t use Select:

1. What is one of the best job decisions you’ve made in the last year?

2. What is one of the worst?

3. Everyone procrastinates at times. What are the kinds of things that you procrastinate on?

4. Describe your learning style.

5. How well organized are you?
