• 1.What is the most significant accomplishment in your life?  How did you achieve it? What obstacles did you overcome to accomplish it?
• Give me an example of how you have been a leader at work. What is the project, what was accomplished?  How many did you lead?
• Tell me about a situation where your integrity was challenged. What was the situation, what were your options? What did you do?
• How did you deal with a situation in your past role where you had conflict with….(Peer? Authority? Client?)

4. Candidates are hired based on "gut" instincts or "likeability" rather than rating/ranking candidates compared to job description and needs. 

5. Candidate is not sold on opportunity - This is another huge mistake that organizations make.  Many do not realize the importance of selling the candidate on their opportunity, they focus mostly on what the candidate can bring to the table rather than what the company offers the candidate.  This is a huge mistake when you are trying to attract the top talent in the industry.  They have the skills, they will share them with you, but they have been in the industry and know what the market is like, you HAVE to tell them what you can do for them.

In essence, to find and hire the best of the best, you also have to be the best and have the best control of your hiring process that you can.  With a thorough hiring process and a top recruiter on your side, you will attract the cream of the crop!  Click here for more info.
