The hidden talents in your company

How many times you sat with your employees and had a real intimate conversation with them about their backgrounds, something that they don’t write in their resumes?

The majority of employees don’t write good resumes, they only talk about skills that fit the job requirements, many employees think that talking about some other skills they may have will distract management from hiring them, which maybe true at sometimes.

After you hire an employee, have another job interview with him/her and you may discover a wealth of other skills and experience this employee can provide the company.

I remember a janitor who used to work in my team, I didn’t have much interaction with him, but one day I sat with him only to find out that he was an artist and a graduate of an art school.
