“Hiring people is an art, not a science, and
resumes can’t tell you whether someone will fit into a company’s culture.”
– Howard Schulz, Chairman & CEO of Starbucks
Hiring is the front door to your continued success.
5 Ways to make hiring your competitive advantage:
1. Hiring Mission Statement – a short, positive, non-discriminating statement about the employee characteristics you need to fulfill your Mission Statement.
2. Strategic hiring forms – PRIOR to starting the hiring process – get the hiring manager’s strategic thoughts (in writing and with a signature) about the open position, their existing team and the desired candidate.
3. The PXT Select assessment that measures thinking, behavioral traits 
and interests and compares the candidate’s scores to top performer benchmarks set up specifically for your company
4. Candidates that fit your culture not just the job
5. Effective onboarding
Question: Is Hiring Your Competitive Advantage?
How would your managers answer these seven (7) questions?
1. I’ve hired someone based on the candidate’s first impressions 
2. I’ve by-passed the cpmpany’s standard hiring process to hire a friend
3. I’ve hired someone for job fit rather than culture fit (team, manager, and job fit)
4. I’ve tried to clone myself
5. I’ve talked too much in the interview
6. I’ve hired someone below my self-image
7. I’ve hired based on the dated “I’m a good judge of character” principle
If you answered “Yes” to three or more questions, hiring is not be your competitive advantage. And, it’s costing you a lot of $$$.
