hile systems and processes can set up
your business for success, the core of
your business is your employees.
Hiring the right people is vital to the future of
your company. Finding and keeping great candidates
isn’t always easy, especially when everyone is on their
best behavior during interviews. BBB has a few things
for you to consider during the recruiting process to
find the right candidates and keep them happy for
years to come.
Why Some Candidates
Don’t Work Out
In order to understand who the right candidates are
and how to keep them feeling fulfilled, you have to get
to the root of why some employees don’t work out.
A study found that 46% of entry-level and 40%
to 60% of management new hires fail within the
first 18 months.* This was not so much because
of a problem with technical skills, but because
of coachability, emotional intelligence, motivation
and temperament. These include the ability
to accept feedback, understand or manage
emotions or because they have the wrong
temperament for the job.*
A high turnover rate can be costly to your business
by eating up time and resources. Success comes
from supporting your employees rather than
replacing them. Exploring what kind of person you
need on your staff will help you write a strong job
description and recognize red flags during the
interview process, allowing you to weed out the
wrong candidates.
