Nearly every hiring manager has a blind spot that, if left unidentified, can lead to devastating outcomes even within well-planned systems. Over time, the author has identified five common blind spots that corrode recruitment outcomes — and how to correct them. First, they assume they can fix issues they identify in a candidate during the recruitment process. Second, they signal a culture of micromanagement. Third, in attempting to telegraph empathy, they actually signal a lack of professional boundaries. Fourth, they overlook contrarian candidates. Finally, by trying to convey a culture of autonomy, they inadvertently suggest that they’re totally emotionally hands-off.
