Historically, what percentage of managers have NEVER received any formal training on how to interview job applicants?

Research has determined that 'loving the work you do' plays a significant role in a person's motivation and ability to achieve superior results, yet few interviewers take this into consideration when making a hiring decision.

Given enough time and hands-on interviewing experience, most interviewers will eventually learn how to correctly identify high achievers.

Most companies track turnover and know exactly how many of their best performing employees are exiting and why.

An applicant's response to obstacles is considered to be one of the best predictors of their future job performance and success.

If an untrained interviewer uses an unstructured interview format (asks questions that pop into their head), the probability of hiring the best applicant is about 40% according to a Michigan State study.

Most unmotivated employees were great hires but they changed after they were hired due to poor management, unrealistic job expectations and/or unsatisfactory working conditions.

If you see signs or hear examples of an applicant taking initiative, it's a reliable indicator the applicant is self-motivated.

An applicant with great job skills will always out-perform a job applicant with lesser skill.

According to a recent CareerBuilder survey, two-thirds of American businesses have faced lower productivity and reduced employee morale due to a bad hire.
