Wondering why the great candidates keep disappointing you once they get on the job site?

The easy answer is: past performance is not an indicator of future success. There are too many outside variables – toxic teams, bad relationships with difficult bosses, work that didn’t energize or fulfill someone, and so on.

During your next interview, you need to quickly move beyond metrics to get to what matters most today. Use this Free Interview Guide to get ready to meet your next rock star employee!
