Something to “gut check” but not everything
 Ask questions such as their specifics on the
project, not how great the project was
 Ask them to rate their own skill level and how
they arrived at that score. Then ask “What
makes an 8, a 4?”

7
Consider their fit to your Culture (Must be
considered with respect to retention)
 Ask people who they admire. Their answer
will provide clues as to their values and what
they want to be.
 Soft Skills - Hard to teach in a short time:
integrity, work ethics, leadership,
commitment (a strong word), manners
 Make people aware of the existing culture



Retention

Why do employees quit?

Invest in your talent

them is to not train them and keep them.”
- Zig Ziglar

achieve the goal
