The Hire, Fire, Hire, Fire Cycle with Jason Sherman of Spinnr


Listen Later

There is nothing more disappointing than a hire that does not work out.

Especially when the person hired was someone you were convinced, would be a great hire!

Conventional wisdom says “hire slow, fire fast” but this almost never happens. Because we are too concerned with filling the role fast. Triaging our pain.

Maybe if we really hired slowly, the interview would produce much stronger results.

To break the hire, fire cycle we must ignore our assumptions about the person's resume and start by gathering evidence. Evidence that supports a proper decision that ensures a successful hire.
