Realism and Selection

When new hires are leaving, it’s time to rethink how you assess and select candidates. Learn how realistic job previews can create opportunities for mismatched candidates to avoid accepting jobs they don’t want, and improve both the quality and cost of hire at your organization.

Best practices:

• Help candidates make informed decisions about whether or not they want to work at your company; don’t sell them a job they’re going to hate.
• Use realistic job previews to get a more accurate assessment of a candidate’s potential to succeed in a given role.
• Don’t get discouraged if candidates are dropping out after the job preview stage, they might not have been a good fit for the position.
