It will make the decision easier and your impression on the candidate that much stronger.":1,"#And then, finally, my fourth rule is involve your employees as much as possible. It is important to note that all people are biased in some way; however, most people are unaware of their bias. Having unconscious or implicit bias does not mean that you’re good or bad; it's just a reality that often comes out when making decisions and especially during the hiring process. To help minimize the influence of an individual's bias, we recommend including multiple people during the interview process to gather multiple viewpoints, preferably your employees with whom the new person most likely is going to work. In addition to minimizing bias, the reason to involve your staff is that they are a part of the decision to hire someone. So, they are far more likely to help that person be set up for success, making the onboarding and immersion more friendly and supportive.":1,"#Third, make the interview process about activities over questions. You may be aware that numerous articles and videos are available to help candidates ace the interviewing process. Rather than asking the same old questions, consider including activities in the interviewing process. Consider the values of the company and think about what activities you can use to bring them to life for the candidate. We recently developed an interview process for a major hospitality company that wanted to improve the quality of guest-interacting candidates. We developed a 3-hour interview that included the following activities: a 30-minute coffee social where candidates were observed on how they well were able to engage with new people. They were given an iPad and an app to access and find out information to assess their comfort with technology. And we provided them with a scenario where they were tasked with planning the perfect day for a guest, this providing an accurate assessment of the candidate's creativity and knowledge of the local area. All of these activities help find people who are engaging, tech-savvy, creative, and knowledgeable of local offerings—all absolutely key to the success of that particular role.":1,"#My second rule: Prescreen for fit over function. When selecting new employees, managers are addicted to experience, as they can have the new hire up and running quickly, contributing as fast as possible. Unfortunately, this approach has little consideration for the new hire’s fit with the team or company. In many situations, people can be taught the basic skills and tasks of a job. Rather than being swayed by all their previous experience, managers should consider whether or not they will be a good cultural fit. When you conduct your prescreening tests or questions, utilize your company's values to develop behavioral-based questions that will indicate a level of alignment or fit with what the company believes is important.":1,"#First, promote your mission and values right from the start. In 2009, Netflix famously shared with the world its 127-slide culture deck titled \"Freedom and Responsibility.\" It outlined the company's corporate culture, what it believed in, and why Netflix was not for everyone. The most valuable aspect of this deck is the idea that company should understand that not everyone should work for them. Some people will just be better customers than employees. So, rather than waiting to introduce your mission and values to candidates until after they've been hired, I suggest providing prospective candidates with an overview of what is most important and what is expected from everyone that works there. Be honest and unafraid that some people might self-select out, which is a much better strategy than themselves selecting out after they've actually been hired. Promote who you are and what you expect, whether on your hiring portal or as a document you share with potential candidates.":1,"#First, promote your mission and values right from the start.
