Let’s face it; hiring is never easy. And recognizing a bad hire is even harder.
It’s tough when you discover that someone you hired has the skills that match up with what your company needs but doesn’t match with your company’s culture.
What should you then do after recognizing a bad hire?
First (and most importantly), take a breath. It’s okay! Hiring the wrong person happens to the best of us, and it isn’t anyone’s fault—even if it feels like it is at the time.
The next thing to do is understand why you are making bad hires.
One effective way to fix a problem is to first understand why the problem is happening in the first place, armed with this knowledge, you would be better equipped to make better decisions, decisions on what to do or what not to do, figure out if you overlooked something or you were too hasty at some point.
Next, you figure out how you can get hiring right more often, this is easier said than done, true, but it is needed, to avoid the negative effects that come with bad hires, which are avoidable.
This is where you put into effect what you have understood from why you are making bad hires in the first place.
Now you have a better idea of the things to look out for when going through the next hiring phase for your organization.
This is a lot of work, but work that has to be done nonetheless.
Conclusion.
Hiring is an industry-wide challenge that takes time, resources, and energy to conduct properly.
But there is a silver lining in all of these, a way you don’t have to go through all of the stress of figuring out why you have bad hires or the different things you have to keep in mind to avoid bad hires.
