The Dangers of Screening Too Soon in the Interview Process with Joel Patterson of The Vested Group


Listen Later

There needs to be a deliberate cadence to your interview process. 

Just like a first date, you wouldn't say “hi, I'm Rick. before we start the date, I’d like you to complete this sexual survey and if I like your answers, we can continue the date.” 

Now it may work on some people. But the question you need to ask yourself is who exactly are you weeding out?  Answer… A-Players!

Today we are talking about the pros and cons of screening mechanisms and the proper order to deploy them to keep people engaged.

Our guest today: Joel Patterson, Founder of The Vested Group

A business technology consulting firm in the Dallas, Texas area, and ForbesBooks author of The Big Commitment: Solving The Mysteries Of Your ERP Implementation. In 2011, Patterson founded The Vested Group, which focuses on bringing comprehensive cloud-based business management solutions to start-ups and well-established businesses alike. 

Joel has hired hundreds of engineers & consultants and has learned a lot about what works in an interview process.

Today we discuss:

  • Why a proper cadence is so critical in keeping top talent engaged
