3 Common but Avoidable Hiring Mistakes

Hello, and welcome to Episode 257 of the People Powered Business Podcast!

In today’s episode I am sharing 3 common but completely avoidable hiring mistakes that businesses make.

The 3 big mistakes are:

Lacking Clarity – when you are not clear on the specifics of the role, and the ideal applicant you are looking for, it’s impossible to attract the right people, and repel the wrong ones;

Rushing the Process – not putting appropriate time, energy, expertise and resources into a recruitment project is another common mistake. Hiring well takes time, knowledge and energy.

Failing to Reference and Background Check Effectively – quality reference checking processes remain the most effective way to assess a candidates work history, but few people do them effectively.

These are certainly not the only hiring mistakes, but they are three of the most common, and as you can see they are all easy to avoid.
