Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
If you wisely decide to only hire someone with strong character, the hard part is determining if the potential hire has integrity. In banking, I learned that running credit bureaus on loan applicants was the best predictor of the future because it revealed how they handled past adversity.
In interviews, learning how your job applicant handled past adversity can prevent bad hires.
In Job 2:3, God told Satan, “There is no one on earth like (Job); he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. And he still maintains his integrity, though you incited me against him to ruin him without any reason.”
When screening candidates for character, try using open-ended questions, credit checks, references, and targeted questions to learn how they handled past adversity.
