Crandall Associates, Inc Recruiting Direct Marketers for more than 30 years How To Keep Top Talent Never Hire Anyone Who Doesn't Wear A Watch Avoid Paper Tigers Don't Let The Good Ones Get Away How do you avoid a paper tiger? Anyone who has hired executives knows that problem. A manager may appear to have all desirable experience, strengths and substance you require - and still be a mistake. The cost of such an error is exorbitant. The expense of relocation, the loss of productivity and lost opportunities, the salary the benefits and perhaps severance you may have had to pay, and the time required to recruit and interview again are only part of the cost. The most serious problem may be the lowering of morale among your present employees when an executive comes on board only to leave soon afterward. And, of course, there is that constant, nagging thought: Can you do better next time? The answer is yes, with a methodical . . . and harsh . . . structured system selection. The hiring process must be viewed as a thorough analysis of the weaknesses, as well as the strengths, of even the best candidate. Strengths will always be more obvious. Most hiring mistakes result from failure to detect weakness during the selection process. 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | >> © Copyright Crandall Associates, Inc., 2007. All Rights Reserved.
