Recruiting staff is difficult. Companies will spend weeks or months prospecting, collecting CVs, weeding out candidates, and finally inviting the best applications for an interview. After multiple interviews, the star candidate is chosen to join the team.
Three months later, and you realize that the right person is not turning out to be so right after all. After so many rounds of selection processes and interviews, the business owner wonders: why did we get it so wrong? Couldn’t the interviewers have seen the obvious red flags before hiring that candidate?

Recruiters tend to fall for the candidate that is very good at marketing himself for the position. Whether this person is actually suitable for the job is a whole different question.
I want to talk about the big 4 mistakes that recruiters make that lead them to make hiring mistakes.
