Key interview question (cost me dearly)

Is there anything more draining / disappointing / upsetting than investing a ton of time and effort into something, and then it NOT coming to fruition because of something you missed?


Our hiring process at Growth Tools is fairly involved.


It involves several interviews as well as a paid project.


And recently, one specific candidate blew me away with both his interviews as well as his paid project.


I was excited for him to join the team…


…only for the rug to be pulled out from under me, and he declined the offer.


But if I had asked this ONE question, I could have avoided this surprise.


And I ask it with every potential hire now.


Check out today’s podcast in which I explain the situation, as well as the “key interview question”.


And let me know what you think.  Are there any key interview questions you use that you think I absolutely need to include as well?
