Do you carefully check employment references on prospective hires?
King Solomon wrote, “The naive believe everything…” (Proverbs 14:15 NASB).
Some folks make a great impression during an interview, but the interview gives only part of the story.
The best predictor of future performance is past performance.
Call past references; ask for others whom the person worked with and call them.
Ask about reliability, teamwork and integrity.
Dig deep and ask follow-up questions. References may be the key to your hiring process.
The time you invest on checking references will pay great dividends as you hire a quality business team.
