How to Find Your Company’s Next Ideal Team Member

Roto Speaks put together a some ideas and questions to ask during the hiring/interview process that can help your company add the best-possible-fit new member to your growing team.

‍

Some of the core ideas included will likely be familiar of course, including the importance of assessing not just an applicant’s ability to competently execute their work within the needed role, but also evaluating the applicant’s fit with company culture more generally.

‍

The guide also defines 3 character aspects that you’ll want to look for in each applicant  - whether they’re humble, hungry, and smart - and goes on to provide several sample questions that will help you assess the presence or absence of each attribute in any given candidate.

‍

For example, to determine humility you might ask an applicant to talk about someone who is better than them in an area that is important to the applicant. To assess someone’s level of hunger, you could ask what the applicant’s work ethic was like as a teenager. And to gauge someone’s intelligence, you could inquire about something the applicant does that others in the applicant’s personal life think is annoying.
