Ideas on how to make the best hire

hire professionals

One of the most common mistakes employers make during the hiring process is clinging too tightly to a preconceived notion of what the right candidate will be like. For example, if there are two employment candidates in the same market and one does not fit all of the contractor's requirements - i.e. the candidate was working on much smaller projects and had no multifamily experience.

The contractor took a chance on the candidate's work ethic and potential and the candidate ended up working hard and performing at an extremely high level. If the contractor had stuck to the original checklist and refused to consider an out-of-the-box candidate, the contractor would have missed out on hiring an A-player.

As the labor shortage in the construction industry continues, it is important to realize that some of the best workers on the market may come from a variety of backgrounds. Other candidates may have left the industry during the recession and worked elsewhere to make ends meet, but they may now be ready to jump back into construction.

Employers must keep an open mind and trust their instincts to ensure companies can reap the benefits of a wider pool of exceptional candidates.

The Morning After: 'Sonic the Hedgehog' got rescheduled

Employees and partners are already testing its streaming capabilities. Every Xbox One title will be playable on Project xCloud When Project xCloud debuts, it'll be capable of streaming any of the system's games (including backward compatible ones) out of the gate without developers needing to make any changes. Microsoft also says when a developer updates an Xbox One game, those changes will automatically apply to Project xCloud versions. However, changes to the developer's kit let a game know when it's being played from the cloud to adjust for different types of displays or run multiplayer games on a single server. The teeth, the legs, the teeth, the eyes, the teeth.
