Posted by Maureen Sharib
Interesting LinkedIn topic:
Which of these 10 hiring/interviewing mistakes is the most important one to your eyes? Hiring is one of the hardest parts of managing a team. A lot is riding on the initial meeting, and if you're nervous or ill-prepared—or both—it can make you do strange things. The following mistakes are all too common, but they're easy to avoid with some advance preparation.
1. You Talk Too Much
2. You Gossip or Swap War Stories
3. You're Afraid to Ask Tough Questions
4. You Fall Prey to the Halo Effect (or the Horns Effect)
5. You Ask Leading Questions
6. You Invade Their Privacy
7. You Stress the Candidate Out
8. You Cut It Short
9. You Gravitate Toward the Center
10. You Rate Candidates Against Each Other
