Why the Vice President personally interviewing ALL new hires is a good thing

Posted on by JMJ Phillip

Would you ask why or instantly understand why a Vice President within a multi-billion dollar company is interviewing EVERY new hire, even positions down to 40k?

Frankly, we were excited to hear it. Not because of his rank, but because we know he is very talented at making the right hire. When we say right hire it is about not screening people out because of their resume, interviewing quirks or other superficial traits. He has the ability to honestly read people, see their talents and know how to leverage them along with figuring out in a short period of time which person is really going to make it there vs. someone just bs’ing their way only to disappoint 30 days in.

But here is a problem we see every day. Hiring managers are often great department managers or leaders and often very poor at hiring. Not everyone is born with that special trait to read people for who they are, and no matter how much you try you may never be good at it.

We often recommend companies try to find that person in each department or division that can be part of the hiring team in this special role. This prevents the office politics of hiring managers not hiring someone because they’re worried they will take their job and it also increases the chance of weeding out those people that BS their way in the door.

Your hiring team needs someone that is great at hiring. Set a goal in 2012 to make sure every new hire is well vetted by those in your organization that have a record of making great hires as the market continues to become ultra-competitive for top talent.
