Finding a great doctor, auto mechanic, or plumber can be a challenge. How do you distinguish the truly exceptional from those who may cause more harm than good? The same applies to hiring—the difference between a great hire and a poor one can be profound.
The hard truth? Experience can be a poor metric.
Too often, hiring decisions are based on surface-level assessments, only for it to become clear that the candidate lacks the essential capabilities for the role. The impact—on the candidate, hiring manager, and team—can be significant, and the resulting frustration, inefficiency, and setbacks can be quite difficult to recover from.
Resumes, years of experience, and even strong interviews don't always reveal who will truly thrive in a role. Instead, success depends on understanding how the candidate's abilities align with the job's actual demands—a step too often overlooked.
Hiring doesn't have to be time-consuming, uncertain, or full of disruptive challenges. In partnering with Thrive Purpose, you can identify the abilities needed to thrive in the role and discern these from the qualities you want each employee to possess, such as a positive attitude. Gain insight into what to look for, what to watch out for, and what questions to ask to gather the most helpful information about each candidate.
