(created 2025-04-02T03:46:09Z). It is a spoken advice segment with a single speaker (labelled SPEAKER A) discussing hiring best practices—specifically warning that candidates who claim they can start immediately may be a red flag, the risks of hires who won't honor commitments to a current employer, and the importance of verifying a candidate's willingness to fulfill prior commitments to avoid future no-call/no-show behavior.

Chapters

First and foremost, you're still going to be looking for red flags. So let's say that you hire somebody and you say, hey, when can you start? And it's Thursday and they say, oh, I can start Monday morning. The question that you have to ask them is, aren't you currently employed somewhere? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fine, but I can just give notice and not show up. That's a red flag. Okay, if somebody is employed and they can start right away, that means that they're going to leave the other employer in a lurch. Guess what they're going to do when they get frustrated with you? They're just going to no-call, no-show one day. Okay, so you want to make sure that people aren't just going to be doing what you don't want to have done to you. So you got to make sure that if they're— that's the first thing. If they've got an existing job, make sure that they're willing to fulfill their commitment. That's actually one of the final tests, that they're going to fulfill their commitment to working at the other organization.
