The Nine Most Common Hiring Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
To err in hiring is human – and very expensive. Many “standard” hiring procedures are actually common mistakes, so to choose more competent candidates, prepare to revise your hiring methods. Learn the nine hiring errors managers often make, then eliminate them from your hiring practices to help you choose only the cream of the crop.

Hiring New Team Members
Quick hiring, convenient hiring or insider hiring rarely works. There is reverse proportion between the timing of the hire and the quality of the hire. The quicker the hiring decision, the more likely the decision will be a poor decision. The more convenient the candidate (i.e. Bob in accountings’ sister in law) the more likely it will haunt you for a long period of time.

How to Make Better Outsourcing Decisions
Virtual outsourcing is an exciting opportunity that offers multiple advantages for small to mid-sized businesses, including: 1. low-cost, low-overhead work without the typical initial recruiting/hiring expenses 2. a wide and more diverse global pool of skilled freelance talent 3. a mutually beneficial pay-for-performance compensation structure 4. flexibility within a predefined project arrangement, and 5. real-time management tools.

You Have an 82% Chance of Making a Hiring Mistake When...
My guest on this week's episode of Meet the Sales Experts was Ken Edmundson. We were talking about hiring when he he said that there is an 82% chance of making a hiring mistake when management does not know how their candidate is wired.

Predicting who will be a top performer is the Holy Grail of the hiring process.

Five Big Mistakes Hiring Managers Make and How to Avoid Them
The role of "Hiring Manager" is a key position. It is the gateway to the organization's future. If you are good at the selection and hiring process you will likely have a bright future. If you are not you likely will not. Read about Five Big Mistakes Hiring Managers Make And How You Can Avoid Them.
Character and Competence
When hiring for and growing employees within an organization, it is essential to consider both character and competence traits. The single best strategy for helping a company improve results starts with hiring the right people for the right business needs. It is far better to leave a vacancy unfilled rather than fill just because “any warm body in the chair will help.” The pain and cost of making poor hiring decisions is unnecessary. Sprinkle the hiring process with a bit more deliberation and patience and watch the long-term results take an upward course.
Hiring Quality Sales Reps
Hiring quality sales reps takes time. It cannot be rushed and must be done properly. Sales leaders must have an effective hiring process in place to evaluate the pool of candidates they have developed. Hiring is much more then filling a position. It is an opportunity to improve the sales team by adding successful individuals.

Hire Right and Fire Fast- Facing Up to Hiring Mistakes
Of course you want the best talent available for your business, with the characteristics and personality that fit your culture. Hiring the “right” people is critical to every organization. In a recession the stakes are even higher: every smart idea to innovate or save costs matters more; and every bit of passion enhances productivity. There are strong reasons to hire the talent you want quickly, and there are circumstances where it’s okay to take more time. But careful as you might be, you will sometimes make hiring mistakes. And in those cases you have no choice-you have to fire fast. Read More About -The case for fast hiring -When to slow-hire -Facing up to hiring mistakes -Fight your instincts
