How to use your intuition to hire the right people

In her new book, Jessica Pryce-Jones argues that while bias has no place in a recruiting process, but intuition can play an important role.

Recruiting great talent is tough, yet it’s critical for any leader’s success and succession. Despite tons of new digital tools, expensive and long recruitment processes frequently lead to poor hires. That shows up in the numbers that suggest an astonishing 20% of people fail probation within the first 45 days, while between 30% and 40%, depending on who you ask, only last six months. It’s even worse at the senior level, where about 60% of leaders are thought to fail or derail.
