What employees should not be hired

BLOG PAnDiKubiz
Well-trained, skilled, experienced professionals with very toxic personal qualities. These guys know everything better than anyone else. Quite often, they treat other employees with disdain, especially newcomers. Even experienced people and managers feel uncomfortable communicating with them.

These people often use their professionalism and competence to show others what worthless people they are. Toxic professionals reduce the productivity of others, destroy the team, poison everything around them and make the manager's job very difficult.

Toxic professionals can only produce results if they work completely isolated and do not interact with other employees of the company. But in real life, this is almost impossible. No matter how great specialists they may seem, it is better not to hire them.
The microclimate in the team is one of the factors of productive work of the company. Your team consists of people of different characters, temperaments, business qualities. PAnDiKubiz Cyprus specialists listed the types of employees that can harm your business. This concerns not only professional qualities, but also human ones. If you add employees of these four types to your staff, you may regret it later.
These people know how to communicate and understand people perfectly. They are great at reading emotions. They also know how to make a good impression. Having such talents is usually a big plus for people. They become great salespeople, managers, executives, etc. However, there are people who have such talents but do not achieve success at work. But they are good at passing off wishful thinking as reality. If you hire such an employee, it can be dangerous for the company, note the managers of PAnDiKubiz consulting company.

All the results that "virtuoso PR people" show in their resumes and talk about in interviews are the achievements of other people, which they attributed to themselves. That is, these "virtuoso PR people" most likely worked in a team, but attributed the main merit to themselves. To find out, you need to ask questions about what exactly the person did in the project and what specific steps he took to implement it. Usually, "virtuoso PR people" cannot answer such questions. Ask him to tell you about his deals, name his partners, terms of cooperation, completed projects, etc. You need to dig deep to expose such an employee.

If you meet a person who makes an impeccable impression, you need to be several times more careful in terms of checking the results of his work and what he says.

Type 1. A professional with toxic personal qualities

Type two. "Virtuoso PR people"

Type three. People with very little ambition
If a person does not look ahead, do not hire him. Even for the position of receptionist. There are many examples of people who came to the position of secretary or office manager, and then became heads of departments and even company managers. Why is that? The person liked the area in which the company operates, he wanted to understand it in order to be able to develop. Since the person initially had no experience, he got a job as a secretary or office manager. Then he studied how the company works, showed initiative and got a position, for example, as a manager. Then he became the head of the sales department, then - deputy director and finally a manager. The person had a goal and a desire to develop, due to which he climbed the career ladder.

Hire people who want to develop and strive to succeed. In a good environment, people with ambitions usually grow quickly. And this is exactly what is needed for the development of your company.
As a rule, these are good specialists with developed communication skills, but... they constantly get into trouble. The year before last, your employee had a car accident, last year he went on a trip and broke his leg on the very first day. This year, he made a very unsuccessful deal, as a result of which the company received obligations, but did not receive any profit. This may seem like just an unfortunate coincidence. Of course, this happens. However, with a certain category of people, troubles happen regularly.

You hire such a person in the company, and he becomes a link in the business process. At some point, he makes a terrible mistake. You know that he is a good specialist, but you are ready to fire him. The person comes to you and says that he has realized everything and will work everything out. He really believes in what he says. You give him a chance. The specialist again begins to work well and brings results, but then he again has a colossal failure. And so it will repeat in a circle. The relationship between departments will be disrupted, and so will the entire business process.

These people are not so easy to identify, warned recruitment specialists PAnDiKubiz. Look closely at the resume of the candidate for the vacancy. If there are any gaps, ask questions about them. Ask how often he was absent due to illness. Try to find out if there were any troubles in his life and how he dealt with them. Of course, it is not easy to spot such a disaster person, but if you succeed, you will be able to avoid troubles for the company in the future.

Type four. People who regularly get into trouble
