Hire Better: Ask This One Question To Find The Perfect Match

preview_player
Показать описание
When hiring, ask a question of scruples to find the perfect candidate. For example… "Tell me how you would respond to this situation…"

By asking a question that is open-ended with no clear right or wrong answer, candidates will not be able to game their answer, allowing you to get a better sense of how they think, make decisions and respond to difficult situations.

It's important to remember that your time with the candidate is limited, and generic questions simply won't cut it. If you want to elicit thoughtful, authentic responses from candidates, you need to put the same amount of effort into your queries.

To get the most out of this question, it's important to use the following three key elements when creating behavioral questions:

Ask about a specific situation designed with no clear cut answers.
Typical lead-ins include: "Tell me about a time when," "Give me an example of," "Please describe a situation where you."

By doing so, you can find out how well the candidate's approach aligns with your values and beliefs and make a more informed decision.

More videos like this please. Growing, scaling and hiring. I recently hired, trained and poured myself into a new grad and gave them the support I never had. They took advantage, learnt and left before the contact was over. I was left high and dry with a part completed project.

As someone who does interview’s occasionally, i can totally agree with the points mentioned
I normally give 40% to the portfolio and Resume, and the remaining 60% are open ended questions that will really get me into the depths of the interviewee which will help me understand their personality on a deeper level.

Pure gold on how to hire the right way! Sending this to all my business owner friends right now!

It’s scary how Chris can read people’s personality, and traits from what they say.

That’s the hard part. To have that 1:1 knowledge of “when they say this, it means that…”.

Chris, I love the way you mentioned that leaders shouldn't set themselves as the standard for an ideal candidate, because then we'll never find the "right" candidate. We are soon going into a hiring phase, and I shall definitely keep this in mind. Cheers!

Attracting, hiring, developing and retaining talent is a hot topic in the niche I focus on (Accounting). I see the parallels in the industries. Just the Resume isn’t enough. Putting them in real scenarios and seeing their on The spot critical thinking and decision making helps the hiring manager know this person’s capabilities.

Great insights and best practices!

There's always so much value in your videos, I watch them several times and keep learning. Try to apply them, then watch them some more.

Love your response, I literally did this exact thing 2 months ago. Relationship still feels a little sour because they only offered to pay for 50% of the scope over original estimate, but future projects are agreed to be at a higher rate.

Very well timed and useful video! I think a lot of creatives struggle with hiring and this video really hit the mark. Would love to see an even longer form video on this or a course I can buy from your store with different scenarios and questions etc. Thanks Mo and Chris!!

Just got reminded to leave a comment by Sir Chris' little snippet sandwiched in this video, so I'm pausing the video for awhile to type this 😅
