How to avoid hiring a "nightmare" candidate

A dream is a beautiful thing. A nightmare is something to be frowned at. So, if you're hiring somebody, wouldn't it be nice to avoid nightmare candidates? What is your strategy for new hires?

If you don't have a specific strategy when hiring new candidates, then you may be doomed to oppression for your company ( a real nightmare). So, I have a few ways to manage the atrocities of this process.

  1. It's all about how the candidate sells you in the interview.

    It's fine to be the smart one that knows the company in and out. But, if you're hiring for a well-known company, this might be a bit negative or could be a nightmare if they don't know anything else (and was just faking it).
