| | TEXAS HOLD'EM HIRING: DON'T GO ALL IN BEFORE YOU HAVE ALL YOUR CARDS!
|
| |
The best part of Texas Hold'em is you get to look at some of your cards before you bet. It's kind of like looking at the application and resume. If you don't like what you see, throw 'em away and wait for the next hand/applicant.
If you're willing to keep playing, you can usually get away with a pretty small wager to see "the flop," or schedule the interview.
After the flop/interview, a lot of players just fold their hands and wait for the next hand/applicant. If you think you have good cards/candidate you're willing to wager a little more.
You make a large wager (job offer, training, and development), but you still have no idea what kind of hand/employee you'll end up with.
Soon the honeymoon is over and you hope your new hire is now motivated and competent. If you hired a good candidate you're in good shape. But what if things aren't progressing? You could fold, but you've already invested too much to give up.
On "the turn" you dump a lot of money into re-training, evaluations, and coaching. If your lucky you end up with a mediocre hand/employee with your "river card." If you lose, the cost of turnover is estimated to be anywhere from .5 to 2.5 times the original offer.
Before you make an offer, wouldn't it be nice to know more about your candidate? Wouldn't you like to know if your candidate has integrity, and a strong work ethic; that they are not likely to steal from you; that they have an aversion to drug use, and they are reliable?
Wouldn't you like to know that your candidate has a similar Thinking Style, demonstrates the behaviors, and shares the Occupational Interests of your Top Performers?
Risky decisions are always easier when you have all the information.
