Most employers hire people they like, rather than the most competent persons

•You can’t typically grow your business without growing the number of people with whom you work.

•If your business is in an early stage of growth, you will most likely be the person doing the recruiting and hiring.

•Most decision makers make their decision whom to hire in the first five minutes of an interview

•The first impression seems to be the strongest point of a potential employee

•The rest of the interview time the decision maker uses to rationalise their choice

Hiring a person you like rather than a better qualified one.

UPS DOWS

• Better comunication• Better team work• More chances to fit into

the company

• The possibility that the first impression was wrong

• Lack of any skills

There are all kinds of reasons for why you might not be chosen for the job, no matter how qualified you think you are, including:

1. Your qualifications aren’t as strong as you think they are. Your assessment of your skills isn’t in line with the reality of the situation.

2. Your qualifications are very strong, but someone else’s are stronger. 

3. You don’t have an accurate understanding of what the job is all about, and therefore your opinion of how well-matched you are is based on an erroneous foundation.

4. You’re well qualified, but you have some other characteristic that would cause you big problems here, such as an inability to listen without interrupting, or trouble answering questions clearly, or a hostility problem. 

•There is obvious that the ideal candidate has good communication skills, the education needed for the job as well as some experience or at least desire to learn.
