Hire slow - Fire fast - How do you know you made a hiring mistake?

Question

I've previously hired an Ops manager (key role in the company, we're pretty small) and had to fire him after one week. The guy wasn't vibing with the team and was trying to do side jobs during the week while having a large salary with us.

Do you have any good stories here? I want to hear them. What triggered the alarms in your head that it was time to go?

You 100% made the right choice getting rid of that guy. Sounds like a nightmare.&nbsp;

Our team is a part of the process with any new hires. And we do with any of the businesses we own. It not only empowers the team, it also helps weed out the bad energy vibes new hires can bring.
We also set expectations from the start with a clearly defined process.
