Hire People Not Skills: Hiring with Company Values. (The Worksheet)

By Rebecca | October 8, 2024 |

Hiring new employees.

You have outlined the job, listed necessary skills, and conducted thorough interviews.

And still, it can go wrong.

Who are you hiring

Part of the problem is that you are not hiring a skill.

You are not hiring a machine, which is programmed to do one thing over and over and be turned on and off at will.

You are hiring a person who has opinions and moods and a whole personality.

But you also aren’t hiring your best friend.

Choosing a candidate based only on how well you get along is still not a winning formula.

You are not hiring a machine, and you are not hiring your best friend.

Hiring isn’t like buying a product. You’re investing in a person.

A person who not only will do the job well, but will also match your standards and your values.

Once you know what those actions are, you know what to look for in your new candidates.

Use this week’s worksheet to define your values in action and describe how you will recognize the best person for the job.

What are your guiding principles? You can get your value descriptions on paper with my 2-hour workshop for $900.
