When you pay for quality and get a headache instead... 🚧 ❗Paid extra for site prep work, which was poorly executed and left a mess. ❗Had to redo the job themselves, cleaning up the hidden trash and completing the grading work. Lesson learned: Do your research, read reviews, and ask for referrals before hiring. Don't settle for anything less than what was promised in the contract! 💼✨ #decks #patio #outdoor #outdoorliving #contractor #virginia #northernvirginia #nova #pool #porch #beautiful #battlefield #battlefielddecks #battlefielddecksandpatios

After interviewing 2 candidates for a Chief Facilities Officer role this morning, I need help picking one. Here’s how it went: I asked the first candidate if he knows the height of our building where we’re interviewing. He said of course; he had a love for architecture, it was 25 metres high with 8 floors. He was right. We had 7 floors and a penthouse floor. He also added he knew the height of most buildings in the city center. The second candidate got the same question but said she didn’t know because she didn’t research the height down to metres. But that she could tell me it had 9 floors. Then she asked for a minute to think and then did something… interesting. She got up, walked to the ceiling-to-floor glass wall looking over the street, took out her phone and took pictures. I was thinking, what a time to take pictures of the view for your Instagram. Then she turns around and tells me the height of the building shoud be about 23 metres. I asked how she came by that answer. She’d measured the length of her shadow against the length of the building’s shadow using some app she found to arrive at an estimated height. I told her she was close but not 100% accurate. I asked how she came by 9 floors. “Well, I noticed the elevator had 9 buttons: B for Basement, 1 to 7 and P for Penthouse, so 9”. Who should I hire in my "fictional" interviews this morning? And why? #StoryTelling #CreativeThinking #ThinkingOutsideTheBox #Careers #CareerDevelopment

What flat pack furniture taught me about recruitment. 🛠 On Friday night I built a flat pack dining table which of course means that my wife and I haven’t spoken to each other since. So whilst I contemplated my abilities as a male, it also got me thinking about how the whole flat pack concept is similar to a lot of recruitment processes (tenuous, I know…) Cheap is risky Let’s face it, we all want to save cash at the moment. And when you see something that looks “good enough” then why wouldn’t you go for it. Well, as they say, buy cheap buy twice (as I found out the hard way) and most of the time a higher investment will give you a higher return. Just make sure you do some good quality vetting first. Vague brief. You may think you’ve given your recruiter enough information to get the job done, but if you leave some details as open to interpretation because of some meaningless sketches then you’ll have ruined your brand new table, er... I mean hiring process, before you’ve even started.  DIY sounds great in principle… It's a great feeling when you successfully finish a DIY project. That moment when you take a step back and admire your own work is priceless. But we've all been there when the hours are rattling by and somehow you're no closer to finishing. The tension in the house could be cut with a knife and you just wished you'd have called the professionals 😂🤦♂️ That Alan key and 2 page instruction booklet combo will only get you so far, after all... What I'm getting at is that a second opinion can often be a good thing. In fact, sometimes that second opinion will save money, time and completely save the day. Because in a world of flat-packers, wouldn't it be a great feeling to be the owner of some bespoke carpentry. MERJE #recruitment #recruitmentprocess #hiring
