Weekly Kristieism: The ??that cost the perfect hire her offer letter

I thought I had found the perfect hire for an Account Executive role at a mid-sized B2B SaaS company, Charlotte.

The HR Manager, Sarah, gave her a 10 out of 10. I loved her. It had been a phenomenal interviewing experience.

Until...

Sarah called to ask, “Have you seen Charlotte’s LinkedIn?”

I had, but clearly, I needed to take? a second look, I noticed she was recently hired and was currently employed at another company. She had not mentioned this during the entire interview process.

But everyone gets a chance in my book. So I reached out to her.

She explained that she wasn’t happy in her current role and it was an “oversight” on her part.

This didn’t sit well with me.

I let Charlotte go from the hiring process because her omission didn’t align with the value system of my client or any other client I work with.
