To Make Better Hires, Learn What Predicts Success

Hiring the best talent remains a persistent struggle for many companies. That’s because they are doing it wrong — often looking at the labor pool for carbon copies of people who are already successful in their roles. But that is being too demanding, particularly during a tight labor market. Instead, employers should borrow an approach from baseball, in which top teams track the performance of new hires and then search for the one or two skills or experiences that predicted their future success.

Buffalo Bills make statement by beating up on defending champion Los Angeles Rams
Bold prediction for next week: Wide receiver Allen Robinson catches two touchdown passes against the Atlanta Falcons.

Fantasy hockey winger preview: Big opportunity ahead for Tyler Toffoli
Chris Kreider, LW/RW, New York Rangers (ranked 22nd overall, 10th among wingers): I feel a little silly drawing my sleeper and bust from the same line. But if you follow the logic, there is some traction there: If Lafreniere is going to improve his output, some of the goals that used to be Kreider\'s will start going his way. It\'s not as if Zibanejad will start having 100 assists in a season, so they can\'t both score at will. But even without Lafreniere in the picture, Kreider repeating anything close to his 52-goal campaign just wasn\'t going to be in the cards. His previous high during the course of nine seasons was 28 goals. Kreider\'s 26 power-play goals last season was the most anyone has scored in the NHL since 2005-06 (Ilya Kovalchuk, 27) and simply won\'t be repeated.
