#109: 4 Hiring Red Flags That Get an Instant "No" From Me

from The Pursuit Podcast · host Amanda Moffett

I've made my fair share of hiring mistakes, the kind that leave you lying awake at night wondering, "How did I miss that?" Over time though, I've learned that certain red flags will always reveal themselves early… if you know what to look for. In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the 4 hiring red flags that instantly earn a "no" from me. These are the subtle (but dangerous) signs I've learned to never ignore, and the ones that could save you months of stress, team drama, and expensive do-overs.   ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCE ↓   Your First Game-Changing Hire | A Free Masterclass Series   —> Learn how to attract, hire, and retain A-player employees so that you can grow your business and get things off of your plate   Get it here: https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training   ______________________________________________________ FOLLOW ALONG ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT US ↓   Every week, Amanda brings you actionable, simple, and highly strategic episodes that are meant to help you simplify, streamline, systemize, and scale your dream business...without the burnout and stress!   Catch us on Instagram @hirewithamanda - we'd love to chat with you about your dream business.   Connecting with business leaders is a huge passion for us and we can't wait to meet you!   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ
