Mistake 5: The "You" Idolatry

Having yourself as a measure of standardization to other applicants or candidates would not work especially if you are hiring for various positions that would require different kind of skills. This kind of perspective would only lead you to an endless search of candidates because not everyone could actually be a copy of you.


This is an interesting quote from the source article:

Most importantly, when you use yourself as a model your own ego has to get in the way. It does for everybody, and that "bias" can interfere with your objectivity in judging others...a fatal flaw when hiring.

Are your guilty of this sin?
