You Hired a Talker. Not a Doer.

The interview was effortless.  Track record at previous companies appears solid.  Exactly the kind of experience you needed.

You made the offer with confidence.

Then you experienced how they worked the first week on your team.

The work was sloppy.  Deadlines slipped.  Basic processes were not followed.  You pointed it out, assigned training, brought in a mentor.  Nothing significantly improved.

Week two.  Same story, if not worse.

You started to wonder if you hired the same person you interviewed.

Does this sound like someone you have - or have had - on your team?

TRUTH CHECK:  Some candidates naturally talk a good game - very compelling, seemingly sincere, and claim achievements without clear specifics.  They know the right words, the right stories, and exactly how to present past "wins" that cannot be easily verified.

You were not evaluating performance.  You wanted to be sold, so you could hire someone and get back to your other responsibilities.

A compelling interview story is not evidence of skill, work ethic, or coachability.  The only way to confirm a candidate's real performance is to test it before you hire them - not discover it during their first 90 days on your payroll.
