5 Steps to Pick the Right Hire (Before It’s Too Late)
Do you ever finish an interview and still wonder, “Should I hire them?”
I’ve been confident one moment, second-guessing the next.
In this episode, I walk through the 5-step process we now follow at To-Do Dudes to confidently choose the right team members. Starting from application and going all the way through their first week on the job.
You’ll learn:
- How to evaluate candidates before the interview starts
- Our exact 4-part interview structure
- Red flags to catch early
- What we watch for between interview and day one
- How training performance reveals everything
This process has helped us avoid costly mistakes and build a team that fits and stays.
