353 - Effective Hiring - Part 2 - The Untrainable Qualities

When hiring, we’re looking for qualities that you can’t get just by training. We subconsciously hire people who are less capable than us because we feel threatened, or we hire people who have the skills that we could train for, but that we just don’t want to. Ideally, we should hire those who could become equal to (or better than) us, but just haven’t been managed well enough to get there yet. Candidates can sense the difference, and it’s often what they really want when looking for a role – even more than money. It’s what you want as well, even if you don’t realize it.
