How Many Interviews Before Hiring

On hiring, how many interviews do you actually have to do? How many do you do?

Well, I get this question all the time. There's actually a great book called Work Rules that talks about how Google runs their hiring process and the massive amounts of data that they figured out how to hire the right person. 

And it's not education based surprisingly. They'll hire people without a college degree. 

But the answer is, drum roll... four. At least four interviews to find out if they will be the right hire or not. 

Now, don't get me wrong. It doesn't have to be you doing the entire hiring process as the business owner. Could be the very first one is a quick Skype 15-minute interview with your admin to really pre-qualify the right candidates for you. 

But the point is to make sure that these people, these candidates are showing up more than once. They're not a one hit wonder and you're like, "They're amazing." And then, you hire them and find out later.

I also highly recommend using a project-based real-time tool to have them do something for you. That you can really see what their skill set is and how they act and interact with you. 

So, go ahead and give that a try today. Maybe add one more interview to your process to make sure that you have the right hire. So, you don't waste time and money.

Have an amazing day.
