Attitude Drives Hiring Success
- 89% of hiring failures stem from attitude-related issues, not skill deficits.
- Attitude factors include coachability, temperament, motivation, and emotional intelligence.
Prioritize Attitude Early
- Avoid hiring from desperation; it leads to overlooking poor attitudes.
- Prioritize attitude early in the interview process rather than as an afterthought.
Ask Open-Ended Questions
- Use open-ended interview questions that leave room for candidates to reveal their true attitude.
- Avoid adding leading phrases that soften the question and elicit rehearsed answers.
