1. 3 Key Strategies for
Hiring Well,
Not Managing Hard

2. Too many companies fail to make impactful hires,
and this costs them down the road.
While hiring looks like an “art,” in fact there is a
lot of science and technique behind successfully
bringing new employees on board.

3. Key 1: Employ for Tomorrow -
Not Today.
An organization must first know where it wants to
be in three to five years before it can expect its
managers to hire individuals who can get it there.
A common mistake is to hire for the needs of
Today, only to find out that the individual is not the
right long-term person for tomorrow.

4. Key 2: Qualify on Technical
Capabilities And Use
Performance-Oriented Questions
Qualify on capability factors such as education and
technical elements of the job. Avoid only hiring
those that performed the same job in the past.
Identify the handful of objectives the individual
needs to accomplish for the organization to
consider him/her a great hire.

5. Key 3: Hire on cultural fit.
Identify the key traits necessary for the individual
to be successful in the role and consider each
candidate against those traits.
An example might be “assertiveness” or
“team building.”

6. In the end there are only two choices -- hire well
or manage hard. Effective hiring requires more
than these initial steps, but if these are applied,
you will see a significant improvement in the
quality and cultural fit of your new hires.
