Pair up these paycheck-hungry job candidates with an interviewer who has done nothing to improve his or her employee selection skills, or the fact that more than eighty percent of all interviewers have had little or no formal training on how to hire the best, and now you have a real formula for disaster as companies begin hiring post-recession.
