“Performance-based Hiring sounds great, but we don’t have time for lengthy interviews.”
I hear this objection constantly. Hiring managers acknowledge that Performance-based Hiring is superior – assessing candidates on what they’ve accomplished beats checking boxes on requirements. They’ve read the research. They know it works. But they’re convinced it takes too long.
At some business meeting in the 1990s I heard this quote from Red Scott, “Hire slow or fire fast.” Someone said it was from Jack Welch, but who said it doesn’t matter.
What matters is that hiring slow takes the same number of hours as hiring fast.
