It's unfortunate, but people don't always make informed hiring decisions. Maybe some people don't want to take the time to get the information they need. Or maybe they just don't know how to obtain useful information about applicants. Considering how much is at stake, making an uninformed hiring decision doesn't make much sense if you want to keep your business healthy.

Companies typically rely on applications and job interviews for collecting information about applicants. This information, however, usually is insufficient or unreliable for making predictions about people's job success. It's no wonder then why hiring decisions often fail to give companies the results they need. So what can you do to make better employment decisions when you have little or no information about applicants?

You already know how costly and painful it is each time you hire or promote someone who doesn't have the skills and abilities needed for success.

• Hidden cost #1 - Loss of revenue because top performers were not hired
