You Hired Dr. Jekyll. Mr. Hyde Showed Up.

Does your newest hire have you feeling like you're living in a horror movie?

You're not alone - and there's a reason it keeps happening.

In the classic 1931 film Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a brilliant scientist discovers that good and evil coexist within every person.  When he develops a formula to separate those forces and tests it on himself, he unleashes Mr. Hyde - a dangerous alter ego he can't control.

Sound familiar?

The person you interviewed was impressive, confident, and full of promise.  The person who showed up after the offer letter?

Someone else entirely.

This isn't bad luck.  It's a system problem.

Most hiring managers are never trained to assess what's really driving a candidate's behavior - their true motivations, their stress responses, their character under pressure.  So, they hire the Dr. Jekyll they see in the interview, with no idea Mr. Hyde is waiting in the wings.

BOTTOM LINE:  If your hires keep surprising you in the wrong ways, your hiring process has gaps — and that's coachable.

The Hire the Best coaches specialize in helping managers build the skills to see the full picture before extending an offer.
