What Best-in-Class Companies Do Before Posting a Role..... High-performing companies don’t start with a job description. They start with alignment: 1. Define success “What will this person deliver in their first 12 months?” 2. Define culture fit “What behaviors work here and what behaviors fail?” 3. Define hiring criteria “What are you willing to teach and what must you buy?" 4. Align key stakeholders and interviewers “Do we all want the same profile?” 5. Set expectations “Timeline, interview structure, communication cadence.” By the time the role is posted, the process is already 80% done. Hiring shouldn’t be reactive.

The Real Cost of a Mis-Hire...... Momentum! The damages is often more cultural than financial! The real cost often never shows up in the P&L! The best way to protect your culture is to protect your hiring process.

“We Need to Go Faster” Urgency is good, panic is not! Companies often try to “save time” by skipping alignment conversations, pushing candidates into interviews before the team is ready, or speeding through evaluation. Here’s the outcome every time: * More back-and-forth dialogue * More restarts * More candidates dropped * Confused hiring teams * Candidates losing interest * More Offer declines Speed without alignment = hiring quicksand.

Three Red Flags That Predict a Bad Hire..... There are three early warning signs that almost always predict a mis-hire: 1. Misaligned expectations If the hiring manager says one thing and the job description says another… pause. 2. No definition of success If you can’t describe what “winning” looks like at 90 days, 6 months, and 1 year your new hire is already set up to fail. 3. No stakeholder alignment If leaders aren’t aligned, the candidate will spend their first year navigating politics instead of delivering results. Clarity is the number one indicator of long-term success.

The Most Expensive Hiring Mistake: Rushing the Intake * Most hiring problems start before the search even begins. * An Intake meeting isn’t just paperwork, it’s the blueprint for the entire search. * Every hour you skip up front costs 10 later. * Skip the intake meeting, expect chaos. * Alignment first. Everything else second. Better alignment, better hires.
