Hiring for Fit with DISC
Episode 2
Thursday, 13 November, 2025
Hiring for skills is easy. But hiring for fit for your team, the job, and the culture of your company is more difficult. Using the DISC assessment can enable you to make better decisions to avoid the high cost of turnover for your business. Some of the mistakes in hiring the wrong person for the role are hiring people that are too much like you, , ignoring the candidates soft skills, and favoring your best friend's relatives!The DISCy Chicks give you a quick review of DISC, for those of you joining for the first time. They also share the fact that the more diverse your DISC styles are on your team, the better. As each style approaches problem solving differently, which strengthens your team. We always advocate hiring ethically, and each new person you hire will have their own strengths and weaknesses. We don't recommend you automatically give an assessment every candidate that applies. Once you have narrowed your selection to your top two to three people, then have them take the assessment. Prepare for your interviews, consider how this person will integrate into your team, and design how you will onboard them, with their behavior styles in mind. We share tips on asking appropriate questions for each for the predominant behavior styles. Hiring for fit is not about eliminating people, but building balance in your selection process. You will find that by using the DISC assessment you will complement skills with behaviors to strengthen your whole team. https://DISCyChicks.comhttps://www.facebook.com/DISCyChicksPodcast
