Another thing I thought of - and something I think I will do when I get to this point, is to have the potential employee/sales person, etc, block off at least 4 hours of their day to come and spend it with you.
See what you do, how your company operates. What goes down on an average day. Understand your workflow, understand the personalities that exist, etc. Now your knee jerk reaction might be - WTH? Who's going to want to interview for half their day or more? For no return especially if they don't get the job? Consider this: you are about to not only invest a lot of your hard earned money on this individual ... but a lot of your TIME too. Which is always worth something. For that investment to return the best buck, you have to be 100% sure this individual fits the company. Anyone worth their salt will see this as a win-win situation. They ALSO get to determine whether or not the job is something they will have passion for and whether or not they can fit in with the culture of the company. Personally - if someone isn't willing to go the extra mile to get the job in the first place, they aren't going to go the extra mile after they have the job to do the best they can. Your results may vary. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:289847 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
