Last week, we had a conversation with a new hiring manager at an innovative startup. They were eager to make their mark but found themselves second-guessing their decisions. We shared some crucial advice: 💡 Avoid going with your gut instinct, especially when you’re new to hiring. We discussed why relying on collective insights is key to smarter hiring. ✅ Why collective insights matter: Incorporating diverse viewpoints from your team can uncover strengths and potential issues that one person alone might miss. ✅ Why gut instinct isn’t enough: Biases can skew judgment. By using structured tools and seeking team input, you can ensure your decisions are grounded in objective data. ✅ Why more voices lead to better choices: With your team’s involvement, you are on the path to making hiring decisions that align with your company’s goals and values. Too often, new hiring managers are expected to make crucial hiring decisions without any training. By adding more voices, they can make smarter choices.
