How do you interview, say, a software developer for your business when you don't know the first thing about, well, anything that has to do with that job? The stakes are high, especially for your first few hires.
Back by popular demand, Infusionsoft hiring partner Lauren Borgeson talks with Clate and Scott about exactly how to evaluate candidates who have skillsets completely different from your own. Here are her suggestions:
- Online assessments like a Myers Briggs assessment or https://tests4geeks.com
- Leaning on your network and asking them to be part of the interview process
- Giving candidates projects or tests that align with what they'd be doing for you
