Many organizations still source, recruit and hire the way they did back in the 1970’s.  Unfortunately, that approach did not work well then and it certainly doesn’t work now.  The old practice of only hiring within the same industry and going through a long and laborious interview process over several days or weeks, then requiring unanimous agreement internally, only to pass on candidates without further contact does not and will not work.  Job seekers are much more educated and polished then ever before, they know the questions you will ask and how they will answer them prior to the interview.  Polished candidates can and will become what they think you and/or the company wants them to be and they can adjust as needed.  The only way to eliminate bad hires is to stop them at the front door, and a proper hiring process can do this for your organization.
