Now is the Time to Hire Excellent Candidates

Comments(0) There is no such thing as a perfect 10!
Only in the movies and if you are Bo Derrick will you find a perfect 10. If employers think that they will find the perfect candidate that fits every requirement…it is not going to happen. At Best Headhunters, we have the candidates rate themselves based on the job description. We find the majority to be quite honest and rarely hear the candidate say they are a perfect 10.

A willingness to learn and grow into a perfect 10 goes a long way.

This will ultimately lead to poor job performance and a very short tenure. Read more »
Hiring Managers - How sure are you of your interviewing abilities?
Comments(1) The last time I blogged I discussed how important it is for the hiring manager to be involved in the process rather than leaving it to your HR department. The worst thing you can do is spend the limited time you have with the candidates discussing you, your company and a long job description. What you want to do on a first interview is concentrate on the candidate and what he/she brings to your position. There is time on the second interview to discuss your company, the benefits, salary and why you enjoy working for the company. Read more »
