Emotional estimation in hiring leads to 75 percent of hires being mistakes

Emotional estimation — hiring someone because you really like them rather than evaluating their ability to produce results — leads to 75 percent of all hires being mistakes according to research. Virtual workers force you to focus only on results rather than activity because you can't see their busy work or creative avoidance behaviors, only what they actually accomplish. Build your team with four archetypal types: organizers for administration, creatives for design and communication, business-type people for operations, and deal makers for partnerships and external relationships. Matching person to role by what they're wired to produce, not by how much you enjoyed the interview, is the only hiring approach that works at scale.
