Ever finished an interview with a great person and just felt unsure or maybe you need more data to make the decision either way?

This all too common scenario is caused by a poorly executed interview process and not asking intentional questions designed to gain the evidence to support a decision either way. Today we will be discussing how to avoid the pitfalls of this conundrum when hiring for your company.

Our guest today: Steve Pfrenzinger   CEO & Head Peformance Coach of Pfrenzinger Agency, Inc.

Today we are discussing

  • Why gathering evidence is critical to support your decision
  • What Steps need to be taken to avoid this conundrum 
  • Why is gathering deep evidence important

    • You have found a very good candidate, but you are just a little unsure, you want one more data point
    • E.G., 3 said yes and one said no or “not sure”. then what?
    • Finding out how people are “wired mentally” in DISC or Myers & Briggs might impact the decision 
    • Why is this important

      • Personality type is a predictor of future behavior and key to major hiring decisions
      • Knowing one’s “preferences” is key, how they “lean” in certain situations, e.g., Thinker vs Feeler 
      • Ask Steve to define a “preference” 
      • 4 elements to the personality

        • Compare DISC styles to Myers & Briggs types.  Cheat sheet below.  If you know one, you know the other.  If you know neither, you need to find out. 
          • D = ET   (Dominance = Extroverted Thinker)
          • I = EF   (Influence = Extroverted Feeler)
          • S = IF    (Stability = Introverted Feeler)
          • C = IT    (Consciousness = Introverted Thinker)
          • Rick’s Nuggets

            • Interview questions need to be intentional
            • Digging deeper uncovers the truth…. How & Why?
            • Must avoid injecting your own personal bias/agenda
            • How do we do it?

              • Ask them for their DISC style or M&B type
              • Have them take a test at www.16personalities.com
              • Fast type them with Steve’s 2-page form, uses easy-to-learn computer metaphor
              • Fast typing form, Steve has one for all that ask.  Contact him at [email protected]

                  • Output
                  • Rick’s Nuggets

                    • Proper sequence: Interview => Assessment => Interview close
                    • Assessments often done too soon
                    • Key Takeaways:
