Mis-hiring can be a very costly mistake, adding up in wasted time, money, and energy that saps the goodwill and engagement of everyone involved.  The old adage "be slow to hire" has never been more true, given today's highly competitive labor market and the current "war for talent".  There is a lot to know when it comes to finding and hiring great people. From candidate searches to interviewing and job offers, much is at stake. Getting the right "fit" for a job, team and organization means being knowledgeable and well prepared is crucial for all hiring managers.  It goes well beyond a job posting or "gut instinct" about a candidate.
