Do you know the biggest mistakes employers make in hiring? One of the biggest challenges we find is that sales professionals and business owners think they can find somebody who is both people-oriented and great on follow-through and detailed work.

Lets see what are the common mistakes employers make in hiring and share your experience also. It will be good so that we dont make such mistakes in near future.

No proper process to screen candidates

idea posted by Dayanand Deshpande Senior Consultant, Ernst & Young

As most of the managers are quick decision makers they do not have the necessary patience to do the due diligence before hiring people.No process to screen candidates is done which leads in hiring the wrong person.

It happends when someone quits the job all of a sudden and the hiring manager need to replace his position with someone else and he does the mistake of selecting the one without screening.

Add your argument:

no mistake it is ???

it's a gamble :::if ROI is not as conceived :::

just let him of the hook ::: just fire him :: no hassles ::

Hiring the one who is just like you

idea posted by Sudeep Tarafdar Senior Consultant, IBM

If manager finds someone who is just like him, then they tend to hire them as they feel comfortable. Of course, you like people who are like you or remind you of yourself. If the candidate is too much like you, then why are you hiring your clone? It is rarely a good idea to hire your clone.

No well articulated RRF/JD (Requisition Request Form/Job Description)

idea posted by Krishna Software Testing, Ness Technology

If there is no well articulated RRF /JD for the particular position open, one may end up selecting a candidate based on his/her assumption/perception on the definition of the role. The RRF/job description helps you to assess the candidate better against a defined expectation out of the candidate for hiring the right employee.

For example while interviewing a candidate for Testing one should have clear RRF /JD , against which the candidate can be assessed with. e.g. What are the skills a Test engineer/Senior test engineer/ Test Lead/Test Manager should have and what are the roles and responsibilities he/she is going to handle in the project. This should be defined earlier before taking the interview in RRF/JD.

Information in this regard – how to assess a candidate on Testing Team can be found at my Testing blog at

Similar kind of information should be captured in RRF/JD.
