Posts Tagged ‘Hiring’
Someone once told me a great tip for interviewing that has worked well for me in several businesses that I have been a part of. I only wish I had heard it sooner. I would have saved myself a lot of bad hires.
Whenever possible, follow the candidate out to their car. Try to peak inside. Usually the condition of the car reflects condition of how they work. If their car is cluttered with McDonald’s wrappers and piles of trash in the floor board, they will likely be sloppy on the job as well. They will dress sloppier than everyone else, their work will be sloppier and contain more errors and there general attitude is likely to be more negative.
After I first heard this advice, I started reflecting upon the individuals that I have had work for me in the past. The best employees have always kept their vehicles clean and spotless. The worst – always messy and out of sorts.
