that “People Love Working” At?

#1 Starts with the Type of People You Want to Hire
• Ask:
“Besides expertise and experience etc., what type of people
do I really want to hire?”
• Centrify focuses on:
• Smart
• Non-political
• Collaborative
• Collegial
• Comfortable in their own skins
• Self-starter and self-motivators
• In other words, define the “match.”

#2 How Do You Get a High Hit Ratio of the “Match?”
• Candidates should interview at least with > 6 employees.
• Hiring managers must do reference checks (vs. recruiters).
• Do formal background checks:
• Did they not reveal an employer?
• Did they misstate their education?
• Etc.
