Mis-hiring is a huge mistake. It's a tremendous opportunity cost throwing the position to the wrong person. It's often something that isn't rectified for a long period of time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you put someone in a job who is thinking for even a moment about the next job, you have the wrong person.
Recently, I was asked if I was going to fire an employee who made a mistake that cost the company $600,000. No, I replied, I just spent $600,000 training him. Why would I want somebody to hire his experience?
We focus on two things when hiring. First, find the best people you can in the world. And second, let them do their work. Just get out of their way.
In the early days, start-ups make the main mistake of hiring people to do the work that they could do themselves.
Don't hire for the sake of hiring. Hire because there is no other way to do what you want to do.
I like hiring people based on a feeling - this person gets it - rather than what they've done in the past.
The biggest mistake that you can make is to believe that you are working for somebody else. Job security is gone. The driving force of a career must come from the individual. Remember: Jobs are owned by the company, you own your career!
I work for a place that's been great to me over the years, and when you make a mistake, you're hurting your company as well.
Having done 'Misfits' for three years solid, you become known for doing one thing, so I've wanted to change things up as much as possible with each job.
I had been a veteran of pretty challenging job searches, so I knew firsthand how frustrating, confusing, and demoralizing the job search process can be. Even after you get a job, many people join companies and discover in the first couple weeks that they aren't a good match with the personality and values of the company.
