Does it pay to take on a 'star' performer? What, indeed, is the secret of good hiring?There's no organizational process more important than recruitment. A right hire ensures both lower employee turnover and higher engagement with the organization. It is a decision that must, therefore, be based on an assessment of skill, will and fit. Traditional resume- and interview-based hiring often does not account for the most important factor: personality. But what individual traits must one measure, and how? Skilled interviewers know that the trick lies in not just asking questions that challenge the candidate, but in figuring out whether his or her answers reveal a fit between the company's expectations and the personality of the interviewee.In Don't Hire the Best, Abhijit Bhaduri brings his vast experience in leading HR teams at Wipro, Microsoft, PepsiCo, Colgate Palmolive and Tata Steel to answer these and related questions on hiring judiciously. Abhijit particularly underlines here the difference between hiring the 'right' fit vis-?-vis hiring the 'best'. He includes case studies ranging from entrepreneurial start-ups with barely a handful of people in leadership roles to large global organizations, and provides a comprehensive guide on how to balance the person, the role and the company culture-the only way to appointing people who will be successful.About the Author: Abhijit BhaduriAbhijit Bhaduri has led Human Resources teams in several organizations, including Microsoft, PepsiCo, Colgate and Tata Steel.
