First Impressions: The Simple Things Really Count

The time and resources invested in hiring a new employee can be significant. And, according to an article entitled 5 Trends in Hiring published in The Idaho Statesman in January 2008 (republished from The Indianapolis Star, January 2, 2008), "Companies say there is a shortage of qualified candidates."

In fact, companies are attempting to make quicker hiring decisions so they don't lose promising candidates to another company. Don't make the mistake of creating a bad first impression and risk losing a great employee. This eGuide includes two actual case studies and a New Employee Checklist for you to use in your hiring process.

Tami’s ability to help me adjust my focus on personnel and organizational priorities allowed me to achieve success in both (of my) businesses that I otherwise never would have achieved. Her leadership experience, pragmatism and disciplined approach to solution-seeking were incredibly valuable.

We decided to have Tami help us in the process of identifying the “right” person to hire as an on-site service technician. Just four ProScans and three interviews with Tami’s help, and we are thoroughly pleased with the outcome. We highly recommend Tami’s work and vision, and working with a true professional is always a pleasure.

– Samuel Zink, President, Computer STOP, Inc.
