Ever wondered why your carefully chosen 'A players' sometimes fail to live up to expectations? Turns out, there might be more to this enigma than meets the eye. 

My co-host, Mike, and I, Max, unravel the misconceptions surrounding the term 'A players' in hiring, and why defining an 'A Player' for your organization and role is crucial. We share anecdotes from our experiences where individuals, once considered misfits, ended up as star performers with the right role alignment. 

This episode aims to debunk the myth of a secret island of 'A players' waiting to be mined. Instead, we stress the importance of recognizing the unique talents of each individual and assessing them against the role at hand. In our journey to rethink the art and science of hiring, we urge you to prioritize 'company-worker fit' over 'culture fit'.  So, get ready for an enlightening discussion that promises to reshape your hiring strategy, revealing potential star players in unexpected places.

We love to hear your hiring experience, whether you're a hiring manager with 100s of hires, about to make your first hire, or an applicant that has a story to tell. Share your stories with Max & Mike at hiringexperiencepod@gmail.com
