5 Ways to Keep LOSERS Off Your Payroll

To grow your business, it's time to stop employing LOSERS. Stop allowing a fraction of your employees to do the job you've hired them to do.

When you're selecting candidates, remember these five ways to Stop Hiring LOSERS:

1. Don't Expect Candidates to Find You If you're only recruiting "passively" with classified ads, general web boards and employment agencies, you're only going to find "passive" job seekers. You need to do everything in your power (network, referrals, educational partnerships, etc.) to "actively" recruit motivated TOP Performers.

2. Believe Only 50% of the Resume Studies have shown, 95% of resumes contain exaggerations. The best thing about a resume is it tells you if the candidate (or their professional resume writer) can use grammar properly, can last more than a few months in a job and has the basic education or training required.

3. Believe Only 50% of the Interview Your reason for having the interview is to make sure the candidate will fit your culture, team and the job. Their reason for accepting the interview is to be who they need to be and say what they need to say to "sell you" on hiring them.

4. Don't Rely on Your Instincts Alone Your "gut" has been proven wrong before and it will be proven wrong again. This works both ways. You've surely passed on someone who made a bad first impression that later became a TOP Performer for a competitor. You've also hired the energetic, friendly, punctual candidate that became a drain on your time, energy and cost you a lot of money.

5. Use Pre-Employment "Job Fit" Assessments If you don't have a 75 percent Hiring Success Rate of TOP Performers, it's time to join the 90's. For over 15 years, most of the Fortune 500 and virtually every Market Leader has kept their use of assessments secret from their competitors. The secret is now out. To hire the right person for the job the first time, use a Job Matching tool.
