Looking to hire your next employee? How do you deal with picking the WAY wrong employee? Better yet, how do you pick the right candidate? Lee Stacey, CEO & President at McGowan Allied Specialty Insurance has some insight and a story you do not want to miss on this episode of CEO Confidential.
Takeaways
Do your due diligence! Create a candidate checklist and interview process, then stick to it
Consult counsel (legal or human resources) on how to deal with tricky employee situations
Check references! Ask, “can you comment on this candidate's behavior in the workplace?” Sometimes brief answers are a red flag
When checking a reference, if a previous employer will only confirm dates of employment, that could be an indication to dig deeper and call another reference
Do background checks, reference checks and even a culture index can be helpful
Hire the right people for the right seats and your business will run as smoothly as possible
