WHO? Solve your problem number 1 - Book Summary

Who! - this is the number one problem. Not that.

Common reasons for hiring a candidate. Managers incorrectly answer the question of who if:

- they are unclear about the duties of the employee in the declared position;

- lack of candidates;

- not sure of their ability to choose the right person;

- lose candidates whom they sincerely want to see in their team.

Recruiting. On the other side of the barricade - if hiring is so important, why are so many people mistaken in their choice?

Voodoo Reception:

1. A lover of beauty Based on instinct makes a harsh decision about a person	2. Sponge Turns over the interview to everyone who is not lazy, takes time asking questions that are generally not related to work	3. The Prosecutor They subject candidates to aggressive interrogation, throwing tricky tasks and logical puzzles to them (for example, “Why are the hatches round?”)	4. A fan They sell the candidates a vacancy, and do not interview. They are more interested in the impression that they will make on the applicant than his professionalism.
5. The magician Use tricks to test the candidate’s behavior (for example, throwing a piece of paper on the floor to track the candidate’s reaction)	6. Animal lover They resort to inappropriate questions such as "What kind of animals do you represent yourself to be?"	7. Hollow Neglect the interview itself, talk about everything and nothing	8. Psychological questionnaire Lets psychological tests are up to you. According to GhSMART's experience, these tests are easily fake and not predictive.
9. Suitability tester Suitability tests will not be decided for you. You can use tests as additional tools, but do not rely solely on them.	10 . Fortune teller Ask questions about hypothetical situations (for example, “What would you do in this situation?”). You will probably get a great answer, but remember - Remember: actions are important, not words.

And one more thing: all these shamanistic tricks come from the false belief that choosing a good employee is easy. It is almost impossible to see a person as he really is.

Questions	What are you looking for

3. What is the worst thing you do as a professional? What aspects of the profession are you not interested in?	If they are not very good, try to get away from the answer or are not interested, weed them out.
4. Name your five last bosses. When we turn to them, how will they evaluate you on a ten-point scale?	This question will clarify your understanding that candidates are not very good. You are looking for 8, 9 and 10. Beware of 6 and below. Candidates putting themselves 6 do have 2.

After the interview, ask yourself: do the strengths correspond to the goal list? Are there any weak ones? Am I excited to bring this man? Continue only if your answer to each of these questions is yes.

Decide who will be accepted

• start by evaluating a skill — in other words, a combination of strengths and weaknesses that describe what a candidate can accomplish.

• then evaluate, in particular, the combination of motives, behavior, and values ​​that describe how a person acts.

• use your assessment of the candidate’s will to evaluate the competency section of the goal sheet.

• the player for the role is the one whose skill will offer a strong match with a score card.
  

How to get professionals

1. Determine which of the five “P” affects the candidate the most: attachment to company policy, feelings of family and friends, freedom granted, prosperity or pleasure.

2. Draw up an action plan for processing the problematic “P” on each of the five waves of the transaction: during the search for players, conducting interviews, between offers and consent, between consent and the first day, during the first 100 days.

3. Be persistent. Do not give up until the professional is on your team.
