During the show we discuss:
- The importance of finding the right person for the job
- Should you hire on attitude or skills?
- What holistic evaluation means and why is it important
- The role for behavioural profiling in the interview process
Also, later in the show we hear from Linh Trinh the host of the Online Trainers Summit, an online event for personal trainers.
Top Tips From The Show
KPI’s are essential because they tell us if we are on track to achieving the outcomes we’ve set.
When discussing hiring on attitude or skill, Adam told us attitude to hard work is hard wired and tightly correlated with success in your job.
To identify attitude during an interview, ask probing questions and listen for the word choices they answer with.
When talking about Emotional Intelligence, reference checks are essential – the best source of information about a persons performance comes from the managers that have had experience working with them.
Behavioural profiles (such as Myers Briggs and DISC) are great tools for management and on boarding, but should not be used to hire someone.
