I was on a lot of podcasts in 2024 and there’s one question I was asked more than any other:
“What’s the most common mistake you see [founders/investors/leaders] make in hiring?”
Based on hundreds of conversations and (literally) thousands of survey responses from our training clients, here’s my top 10 list of root causes, roughly ordered by the magnitude of the problem:
10. Unstructured interviews
If you are asking things like “tell me about yourself” or “walk me through your resume,” you are essentially hiring for the skill of extemporaneous speaking.
9. Redundant, superficial interviews
