When I consider acquiring a company, I try to get inside the
heart of the person selling -- and allow him (or her) to get inside my own. I
try to avoid being overly technical. When it comes to hiring people, on the
other hand, there is no magic formula.
Yet it occurs to me that the two tasks are still related. In
fact, “hiring” (acquiring) companies has a lot to teach us about how to hire
employees.
For decades, companies and hiring managers have experimented
with the hiring process, seeking the right sets of questions and qualifications
that will guarantee successful hires. But, these days, companies are bucking
the traditional trend of favoring education and experience.
