The tech industry is facing a talent crunch, making it difficult for companies to find and hire the right employees. However, it is still possible to avoid mis-hires by following best practices such as defining job requirements clearly, using behavioural interviewing techniques, conducting thorough background checks, getting referrals from trusted sources, using pre-employment tests, and using a skill assessment platform like Yaksha. These strategies can help ensure that companies are hiring the best candidates for the job and avoid the costly and disruptive consequences of mis-hires.
