Hiring the right people is critical for any business, and that's especially true for a small company with relatively few employees.
Bringing in the wrong person not only not only wastes time and money, it also creates a ripple of negativity that impacts every other employee--and therefore your business.
Here are six reasons why you wind up with the wrong candidate:
1. You ignore the total package.
Every employee has to follow company rules and guidelines, whether formal or unwritten. Still, some people can't... or just won't.
The skilled engineer with an incredible track record of designing new products while berating support and admin staffs won't immediately turn over a new interpersonal leaf just because you hired him. The programmer who only works Selene hours as if she'll melt in sunlight won't magically transform into a standard-issue 9-to-5er.
