Want To Hire The Best? 5 Tips From A Management Consultant

Test Drive The Candidate

Companies have a few options after the first interview to move forward with candidates they're considering for the job, says Russell.

One option is to run a test drive for the candidate, asking them to work for either a few hours or a full week. This will give solution providers an idea of how the candidate truly fits into the workplace without having to fully commit to hiring them.

CEOs should also make sure they do background and reference checks, because even the best-looking candidates may have background issues, said Russell.
