5. Fear that a bad hire will negatively affect department morale

A bad hiring experience can often suck the life out of department. Because of that person’s ineffectiveness and eventual absence, department morale will often dip and the increased workload will weigh heavy on other team members until a more suitable person can be found to fill the position.

Be Sensitive to a Manager’s Fears

To soften a manager’s fear of a bad hire, show and tell why you will be a good hire for the company. Be sure to not overstate your claims and promises. To win interest and trust, the manager must believe what you are saying, so nothing beyond the point of belief. Remember that managers get a good feeling when they sense a job candidate has been loyal, dependable, and devoted to previous employers.
