Recruitment & Interviewing: Hire Right. Regret Less.
Most hiring managers think they’re good judges of people.
They trust their gut. They go with their first impression.
They hire the person they’d want to have a beer with.
And then they spend six months wondering why “great culture fit” can’t actually do the job.
- Strong candidates are overlooked because they didn’t “click” in the first five minutes.
- Hiring decisions become inconsistent — one manager’s “confident” is another’s “arrogant.”
- Employee turnover increases because the wrong people keep getting through the door.
- Poor performance issues emerge later — when termination is expensive and morale is fragile.
- Managers spend their time correcting hiring mistakes instead of building their teams.
The organizations that build great teams aren’t the ones with the best intuition.
They’re the ones with a process that makes intuition irrelevant.
