Understanding the environment that helped shape a candidate’s success or failure is one of the most important lessons to learn in hiring. So if you’re trying to hire someone, it’s a terrible idea to focus on their successes and assume that they will be equally successful in your environment.

Some good information which can be useful when looking to hire - it is not necessarily true that because someone has performed well in a previous role that they will be just as great (or better) in the new role - it is good to look at successes as well as hardships - really identify what made the person perform well -
It has been identified countless times how beneficial it can be to run technical testing or scenarios whilst interviewing candidates to slightly identify how this person can put their talk to action – even get them into the environment they will be working within and see how they react –
It is not just about a glowing track record – be sure to look at all the factors that lead to the person’s success. |
