Avoid Hiring the Wrong "Personality" Into Your Technology Business

Next up on the special video blog posts that I'm doing for the end of 2009 is on hiring.

This question was asked to me by a managed service provider that also does custom programming and website development out in Arizona and it's another very typical small business issue.

The video will detail the full question but basically they asked how to avoid the employee "switcharoo". That's when you think you found the perfect personality and skill fit for your business but after hiring this ideal employee, they start showing their true colors which were not reflected at all in the interview.

I tried to shorten this answer up but failed. Sorry. It's almost an entire 12 minutes long. So clear out your schedule and watch below:

George,

One of the best ways I have seen to see how someone's personality will mesh with a company and or staff is to have them take a DISC profile. Knowing how a person's natural and adaptive behavior is will help out a lot in the hiring process.

Just my $.02.

Glad you agree with me on the DISC profile. I think it helps out a lot but doesn't take from the need to ask those open ended questions to try and see the personality come out "live"
