However, recruiting senior-level employees are\u00a0different from recruiting entry-level\u00a0staff.<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.business2community.com\/leadership\/research-40-of-new-executives-fail-within-18-months-02131245\"><u>Business 2 Community<\/u><\/a>, a study conducted by a leadership development firm in Pennsylvania found that four out of ten newly promoted managers and executives fail within 18 months of starting new jobs. The bad hiring decision is the main actor of such failure. This failure can then have a ripple effect, not only from a monetary aspect but also on the morale of the rest employees and the company\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid or minimize the chance of failure, here are three common pitfalls that your company should avoid during the hiring process of senior-level employees:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Not setting a clear expectation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Setting a clear expectation from the beginning is fundamental. You can start by explaining the\u00a0job\u2019s\u00a0role, the desired objectives, and outcomes. Also, let the candidates know of the company\u2019s values, expectations, and process.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the\u00a0candidate\u2019s\u00a0history of being an \u2018A performer,\u2019 if your company does not set clear expectations, there would be a tremendous chance that they would get confused and lead their team to failure in achieving the company\u2019s goals.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Underestimating emotional intelligence<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>According to research, 75% of employees fail to establish a cultural fit, and this\u00a0is one of the primary reasons for failure in their\u00a0new job. This finding also applies\u00a0for \u00a0new senior-level employees. Failing to establish a cultural fit is closely related to emotional intelligence. It was the cause of\u00a0why\u00a0HTC CEO Pete Chou was replaced and TIMES inc. CEO Jack Griffin was forced out. Having good emotional intelligence is critical for a leader. Although intelligence is extremely hard to evaluate in the hiring process, during\u00a0the interview you can ask impromptu questions, such as what\u00a0was\u00a0the toughest moments\u00a0in their life and how they handled\u00a0it.\u00a0This could help to provide a gage of the candidate\u2019s emotional intelligence.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Not conducting in-depth background screening<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Despite their excellent looking resumes, you need to keep being skeptical and be willing to conduct an in-depth background check. The reverse directorship check is among the most critical checks in background screening that must be performed before finalizing the hiring decision. By performing this check, you can identify at least two things:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Conflict of interest<\/li>\n<li>Disqualification. A disqualification might suggest that a candidate is either unsuitable to hold a directorship role or is outright barred from doing so.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Most companies would\u00a0often find\u00a0the\u00a0background screening process as a tedious stage that they opt to ignore when\u00a0hiring an employee, as it takes a lot of time and resources. Integrity Indonesia, with up to more than 15 years of experience in the compliance industry, will conduct a background screening on your potential senior-level candidate, including a\u00a0nation-wide\u00a0reverse directorship search .
