SWOT FOR HIRING
WHY DO A SWOT ANALYSIS WHEN HIRING?
If you run a business, chances are you are familiar with the term SWOT Analysis and have probably carried one out on your own organisation. If you have, you'll know what your strengths are, your weaknesses, opportunities and will have assessed any threats to your survival as a going concern.
That's all well and good but have you thought about doing a SWOT analysis on the people you employ?
WHAT IF YOU KNEW:
What their Strengths are in terms of character & personality? What are the main drivers of their behaviours?
Their Weaknesses? What things will they actively avoid doing?
What Opportunities are there in terms of potential leadership, or development into more responsible roles?
What potential threats exist with this person? Are any of their strengths also a weakness? What counter-productive behaviours might show up under stress? How well might they get on with their colleagues?

Why Not Use Data to Help You Make Better Hiring Decisions?
You don't need me to tell you what will happen if you get it wrong.
Done properly, you will employ someone who is better suited to the work that they'll be doing and will enjoy their work more. As a result you'll get better results and a happier environment.
