  • Do not use multiple sources for finding job candidates.
  • Source for candidates just before they need a position filled.
  • Rush through hiring without a multistage process … interview and then hire (a pipe process instead of a funnel).
  • Have not analyzed and do not know the top 6 personality traits necessary in top performers for industry sales competence.
  • Do shoot-from-the-hip non-structured interviews without questions designed to discover competencies, important personality traits, and character attributes.
  • Recruit personality traits and sales skills over character values like honesty, personal responsibility, and hard work ethic.
  • Do not use a validated personality profile.
  • Sell their company to candidates during MOST of the interview time. They even sell themselves on the candidate.
  • Talk more than the candidate does during an in-depth interview.
  • Do not involve other employees during final interviews.
  • Save candidates when they struggle with a question – sometimes even giving them the answer.
  • Hire candidates when only their instinct says yes.
  • Hire candidates when their instinct says no.

  • Thinking that after searching you’ve found all the candidates
  • Relying solely or heavily on title-based searches
  • Not using the NOT operator
