PUT THE RIGHT BUTT IN THE RIGHT SEAT!

“Jeff, the CEO of a successful company went on an extensive search to find the perfect candidate for the job of Director of Business Development. He reviewed hundreds of resumes, interviewed numerous candidates, had his company peers interview the top candidates, designed a job description with key performance indicators and a 30-, 60-, 90-day performance review plan, and then on-boarded Sherri. He did everything right. Within days of Sherri joining the firm, Jeff had an intuition that it was not the right fit. And, by the beginning of the third month, Jeff experienced mediocrity versus excellence. Unfortunately for Sherri and maybe fortunately for Jeff, she saw the handwriting on the wall and left.”

Have you ever experienced a similar story or are you currently facing one today? You did everything right and the candidate simply did or does not fit the seat that they were seated in. Today, the ability to find the right person and determine if they are in the right seat for the job is even more difficult than it has been in the past. To add onto that, life and business are running at such a fast pace that we do not have the luxury to make the wrong decisions.  The concept of “hire slow, fire fast” is more important today than in any other time in our history.   The follow-up cost of hiring a wrong employee can be as high as 30% of their annual salary, after incurring an onboarding additional cost of more than 100% of their 1st year annual salary. Businesses simply cannot make these kinds of mistakes.     What could Jeff have done differently?   Marshall Krupp of Peer Executive Boards is certified in the use of PXT Select™, a candidate/job fit tool.
