Hire for Attitude

Why focus on attitude? Quite simply, skills can be taught. Attitude cannot.

You’ve probably had the experience of hiring someone who you thought was perfect for the job – only to find out later that the person could not work within the organization. That occurs when the emphasis in hiring standards is placed on job aptitude and ignores attitude.

Hiring someone who possesses adequate skills and job know-how is not the same as choosing a capable person with the right attitude. With fewer people doing more work these days, organizations cannot afford costly hiring mistakes and the resulting turnover. Finding the right person then, who combines skill with a winning mind-set, should be a top priority.
