Codie Sanchez advises recruiters to prioritize observed actions over stated preferences when evaluating candidates. She cites research (spoken conversationally) that about 7 out of 10 U.S. employees say they would prefer a $10,000 cash bonus, but when offered a group trip valued under $10,000 (well-orchestrated), most report higher job satisfaction and actually perform better after the trip than after receiving cash. Sanchez says she recruits by paying attention to people’s actions rather than their words.

Chapters

Believe what people say. Everybody lies. Believe what people do. Let them show you their actions. When people recruit and they only focus on money, I think that's the wrong thing to do. What you actually see when you look at the research is that if you were to give 7 out of 10 employees in the US a bonus of $10,000 or a trip worth less than $10,000, but it was a really cool trip and it was orchestrated with the rest of the group. Most employees rate their job satisfaction higher from the trip than the bonus. Here's the kicker. Most employees say the $10,000. But what happens is if you actually track their performance, they perform better for the activity than they do the cash. The way that I recruit is I pay a lot of attention to what do people's actions show me as opposed to what they say.
