Let’s be honest—spotting a great resume isn't hard. Gorgeous degrees, big-name past employers, and a neat row of impressive metrics always look fantastic on paper. But the words on paper do not reflect how that same person actually behaves and operates when the pressure suddenly hits on a random Tuesday morning.
The truth of the matter is always quite shocking. Statistics indicate that an incredible 89% of poor hiring decisions come from attitudes and cultural mismatches rather than the candidate's inability to perform the required skills of the job.
In other words, you need to question yourself about the reason we continue to stress the skill set of an individual when the challenge is actually about his or her conduct. An organization may decide to hire an experienced manager who has succeeded in driving growth in the organization but does not have the right leadership culture.
It gets even more complicated considering the cross-border nature of the challenge, as companies using interim executives China come to the realization that knowledge about the communication, hierarchical, and social etiquette is much more important than any qualifications of the executives.
Why
is catching this so tough during interviews?
Every person brings the best version of themselves into the interview room.
Almost all recruitment processes revolve obsessively around successes in the past rather than adaptability.
However, a company culture isn’t a pretty picture on display at the staff break area but rather a living ecosystem that evolves as more people join your business.
Ultimately, skills can be learned in as little as a few weeks. What you can't easily fix is a fundamental clash in values.
