Description
Ever finished an interview with a great person and just felt unsure or maybe you need more data to make the decision either way?
This all too common scenario is caused by a poorly executed interview process and not asking intentional questions designed to gain the evidence to support a decision either way. Today we will be discussing how to avoid the pitfalls of this conundrum when hiring for your company.
Our guest today: Steve Pfrenzinger CEO & Head Peformance Coach of Pfrenzinger Agency, Inc.

Today we are discussing
Why gathering evidence is critical to support your decision
What Steps need to be taken to avoid this conundrum
Why is gathering deep evidence important
You have found a very good candidate, but you are just a little unsure, you want one more data point
E.G., 3 said yes and one said no or “not sure”. then what?
Finding out how people are “wired mentally” in DISC or Myers & Briggs might impact the decision
Why is this important
Personality type is a predictor of future behavior and key to major hiring decisions
Knowing one’s “preferences” is key, how they “lean” in certain situations, e.g., Thinker vs Feeler
Ask Steve to define a “preference”
4 elements to the personality
Compare DISC styles to Myers & Briggs types. Cheat sheet below. If you know one, you know the other. If you know neither, you need to find out.
D = ET (Dominance = Extroverted Thinker)
I = EF (Influence = Extroverted Feeler)
S = IF (Stability = Introverted Feeler)
C = IT (Consciousness = Introverted Thinker)
