🚨 **Hiring Myth Monday #14**

**Myth: A great onboarding process can overcome a poor hiring decision.**

Training and onboarding are essential to employee success, but they can't solve every hiring mismatch.

There's a difference between someone who needs to learn new skills and someone whose natural strengths and behaviors don't align with the requirements of the role.

You can teach systems, processes, and procedures. You can provide coaching and development opportunities. But when the underlying fit isn't there, even the best onboarding process may struggle to bridge that gap.

That's why understanding the competencies and behaviors needed for success should begin before the hiring decision is made.

**Onboarding should build on a strong hiring decision—not be expected to fix a poor one.**

💬 Have you ever seen an organization try to solve a hiring mismatch through additional training?

What if businesses marketed themselves the way political campaigns advertise against their opponents?

Imagine spending your entire sales pitch explaining how terrible your competitors are instead of telling potential customers what you can actually do for them.

Pointing out someone else's shortcomings doesn't automatically demonstrate your own value.

Customers want to know whether you understand their challenges, how your solution addresses them, and what makes working with you worthwhile.

**Your value should be the reason someone chooses you—not how badly you portray the competition.**

💬 What makes a stronger sales pitch: highlighting your own value or pointing out a competitor's weaknesses?

TalentThrive is excited to announce a new partnership with The Management Sherpa

This collaboration brings together TalentThrive’s behavioral and competency-based talent intelligence with The Management Sherpa’s leadership development, coaching, and learning resources — creating a stronger connection between insight and development.

Through the partnership, The Management Sherpa team will have access to TalentThrive as part of its 5-Step Leadership Program, incorporating TalentThrive alongside its existing assessment tools, coaching, and 360-degree feedback process.

TalentThrive will also have its own dedicated intranet site, providing clients and partners with streamlined access to The Management Sherpa Learning Management System and its certifications, coursework, and online training aligned with TalentThrive’s library of 75 soft-skill competencies.

This added development capability will give organizations more ways to turn assessment insights into action — helping managers better engage their employees, strengthen critical skills, and provide meaningful guidance throughout the employee lifecycle.

The partnership also expands TalentThrive’s coaching capabilities through access to The Management Sherpa’s global network of coaches, making one-on-one coaching available when clients need additional support.

Together, TalentThrive and The Management Sherpa are creating a more complete path from understanding talent to developing it.

Insight and development, aligned.

🚨 **Hiring Myth Monday #13**

**Myth: Candidates who ask too many questions will be difficult employees.**

When a candidate comes into an interview with a long list of questions, it's easy to wonder whether they'll be demanding or difficult to manage.

But asking questions doesn't automatically make someone high-maintenance. It may simply mean they're taking the opportunity seriously.

An interview is a two-way conversation. While employers are evaluating whether someone is right for the position, candidates are evaluating whether the organization is right for them.

The questions themselves—and what they're focused on—matter far more than how many are asked.

**Don't confuse someone making an informed decision with someone who's going to be difficult to manage.**

💬 Do you see candidates who ask a lot of questions as a positive sign or a potential red flag?

Everyone in sales has something they struggle with.

For some, it's handling rejection without taking it personally. For others, it's uncovering a prospect's real challenges, discussing budgets, or helping move a conversation toward a decision.

Even experienced sales professionals have areas they continue to work on.

That's one of the reasons we value our strategic partnership with Sandler . Their approach to sales training and development helps individuals, teams, and organizations strengthen the skills needed to navigate those challenges.

As Steve Schaffer shares, professional development is an ongoing process, regardless of how long you've been in sales.

🚨 **Hiring Myth Monday #12**

**Myth: Salary is the biggest factor in why someone chooses a job.**

Compensation matters. But it's rarely the only thing candidates consider when evaluating an opportunity.

Commute time, workplace culture, management style, flexibility, and the people they'll work alongside can all influence whether someone accepts a position—and whether they stay.

A competitive salary may attract a candidate, but it doesn't automatically guarantee job satisfaction.

Employers need to look beyond compensation and consider the overall experience they're offering employees.

**The right opportunity isn't always the one with the biggest paycheck.**

💬 Have you ever accepted a position for reasons other than salary?

Doing your job well and creating a great customer experience aren't always the same thing.

Two people can perform the exact same responsibilities, follow the same procedures, and deliver the same service—yet leave someone with completely different impressions.

Sometimes, the difference comes down to the little things. Taking extra time, showing genuine concern, and making someone feel like more than just another task on the schedule.

After spending a week in the hospital, Steve Schaffer experienced that difference firsthand.

It's a reminder that **how we make people feel matters just as much as what we do for them.**

🚨 Hiring Myth Monday #11

Myth: A gap on a résumé is automatically a red flag.

Six months. A year. Maybe longer.

It’s easy to see that blank space on a résumé and start filling it in with assumptions. But there may be a perfectly reasonable story behind it—and you won't know unless you ask.

A résumé gives you a timeline. A conversation gives you context.

Give candidates the opportunity to explain their story. Ask good questions. Listen to the answer. Then decide whether what you learned makes sense within the bigger picture of their experience.

A gap may be worth discussing. It doesn't have to be an automatic disqualifier.

💬 Do résumé gaps influence how you evaluate a candidate?

10/02/2026

Sometimes you're doing all the right things and still waiting for the results to show up.

You’re making the calls. Having the conversations. Following up. Showing up consistently.

And then something shifts.

The important thing to remember is that other people make decisions on their timeline and for their reasons—not yours.

You can’t control when someone else is ready to make a decision. You can control whether you keep doing the behaviors that put you in position when they are.

Don’t stop doing the work just because the results haven’t caught up yet.

💬 What keeps you consistent when the results aren't immediate?

🚨 Hiring Myth Monday #10

Myth: A great hire doesn't need onboarding.

Finding the right person is only the beginning.

Even experienced employees need time to understand how a new organization operates, what success looks like in their role, and how their manager and team communicate.

Onboarding is also an opportunity for managers to learn about their new employees. How do they learn best? How do they respond to feedback? What kind of coaching will help them succeed?

A strong onboarding process helps both sides establish expectations and build an effective working relationship from the start.

A great hire brings the potential. Onboarding helps turn that potential into performance.

💬 What's one thing you wish every employer included in their onboarding process?
