Hiring Best Practices: Stop Guessing, Start Growing!

Let's face it, your hiring process can make or break your team's success. Are you still using the same interview questions from 1992? It might be time for a refresh!

My hot tip for you this month: prioritize behavioral interviewing. Instead of "Can you work under pressure?", ask "Tell me about a time you faced a tight deadline. How did you handle it, and what was the outcome?" This gives you real insight into how candidates actually behave in real-world scenarios, not just how they think they'd behave. Also, remember that onboarding starts before Day One. A smooth, welcoming onboarding experience can significantly boost retention. Don't just throw them a laptop and say "good luck!" Make them feel like part of the family from the moment they sign the offer. Your new hires (and your retention rates) will thank you.
