How To Deal With A Bad Hire


Every brand, company or corporate has to undergo the pain of a bad hire at some point in time. But, once done, undoing it isn’t an easy task because you have already got into a sticky situation. Though, learning from your mistake is the first step you can take to work around it but you do need to find a sensible way out. Document the points about what went wrong while doing the hire primarily. Then, make a list of points that need a review before hiring.
  1. Devise a meticulous interview process – In order to help you foresee the performance of a candidate in the future, document all the verbal as well and non-verbal traits and behaviors of the candidate. This could especially be used for review before doing a hire.
  2. Design a thorough process for screening – Even though the hiring is done through the HR team and the recruiters, always try to design a methodology to record and evaluate the steps and how to use the evaluation in the future.
  3. Communicate the Company Values – The company values and its culture need to be defined and communicated to the applicant in order for the candidate and company to understand whether he or she is a culture fit or not.
  4. Understand their objectives – We spend most of the time of our day in office once we start working and hence it is very important to understand the candidates' role and how it is in sync with his or her goals in life as well as temperament and behavior. It does require a good ear though.
  5. Check on Previous Work Experience – Use the information around the previous experience of the candidate to find out the problem-solving abilities, the value systems, and overall skill sets. Visiting their social media accounts also gives you a sneak peek into your candidate.
These are just a few points that you need to keep on your checklist to avoid bad hires. As once the onboarding is done, and you find that the hire is bad and it’s not a situation that could be given time, then better to cut off early in order to avoid further losses.
