The Best Recruits May Not Be Who You Think

When hiring new employees, we so often lock ourselves only into the potential candidate’s experience.  Yet, Mike Michalowicz, author of The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur, argues “The most effective way to hire fantastic, loyal employees who will fit into your company culture and help you meet your goals is to hire them for their inherent abilities (that which can’t be taught), such as personality, learning style and core values. You do this by identifying behavior patterns during the interview process.”  Mike makes a compelling case in this Wall Street Journal article.
