everybody's made mistakes about people that they brought into either their work or their home it's just a matter of time it's not if it's when wouldn't you want to know what their interests are i feel like that's like a huge thing companies do nowadays you can't just compartmentalize your personal and your professional lives and so it's going to be reflected in their behaviors yeah i would definitely look them up on social media yeah i want to know what they're doing you have any last words before I kill you yeah yeah yeah wait a second no [Music] welcome to Ask Social Profiler i'm Dave this is Tony tony what are we going to talk about today hey Dave uh today we're going to talk about mistakes we make while hiring everybody's made mistakes about people that they brought into either their work or their home and you know what it can have devastating consequences we know that everyone's not the same you know whether you're Republican Democrat whether you have different religious values the most important thing is if you're establishing a rel relationship with other people that you have some level of compatibility or at least understand if your beliefs your interests or your values are aligned tony can you tell us a little bit about any mistakes that you've made oh I made a few it comes down to several cases a not knowing enough about a person you know whenever the honeymoon period ends and you get to know a person better it's a little bit too late already b it's considering the growth rate of the company itself and the growth of a person for instance if a person overgrowth the company it's not a great place to be as well as you know if person does not grow with a company those things sometimes I did not consider well enough and I paid for I agree you know you mentioned the honeymoon period a similar situation earlier in my career where I started a new company and I started it with another individual that I didn't previously know and he had a lot of energy he was very smart but after you said the honeymoon period After the first 3 to 9 months of working together it became quite obvious that we were just too different to maintain the relationship and as a result over a year of work that both he and I put into to try and establish a business ultimately failed and that was true for him as well he was just different and we ultimately had different interests which led to different beliefs and values and you know that's that's really where this takes you is when you're establishing a relationship with somebody how do you avoid those mistakes one way to do that is to understand what their interests are do social media research and find their activities who they like what they follow because that's a good indication of who that person is going to be personally and professionally moving forward what are your thoughts Tony i agree i also think that fundamental values matter i mean there is nothing wrong about having different opinions there is a dramatic value in having different opinions cuz people can contribute bring different things on the table but at the same time if you disagree fundamentally on something say in political spectrum in personal beliefs in you name it that is a problem which going to happen it going to surface anyways regardless of how long you're trying to avoid it if you like fundamentally disagree on some stuff that might not work out and it will not actually it's just a matter of time it's not if it's when [Music] would you be okay if your employer checked your social media before hiring you i think it's a slippery slope and I think that some things are okay but if you're going back and looking at what uh someone posted when they were 15 16 years old you know people evolve over time they change so yeah I think it can be depending on what you're looking for and there is a reasonable use of that i think my company puts it out there that you can be a fire you put out there if it's offensive in some way that's violates our company policies so to the degree that it violates policies I'm subject to that right now yeah on my social media I feel like that's something that I've always thought about like not being watched but kind of because that's how everybody can see you and they view you so and I feel like that's like a huge thing companies do nowadays anyways [Music] that's not only true in your professional relationships it's also true in your personal ones as well you know if if you're considering uh dating somebody on an online service wouldn't you want to know what their interests are before you started dating them to be sure that you would have compatibility absolutely and that's the key is regardless of the type of relationship whether it's a social relationship with an or an association especially in romantic relationships like I think everybody had that kind of situation when you still believe from the bottom of your heart that things going to change but they never do right and ultimately it falls apart right yeah and I think it's also true for like any sort of business environment People do change and it's great but they don't change you know that rapidly you know people can change their outward behavior but it's not necessarily reflective of their interests and their values and their beliefs [Music] would you look up a new friend or partner on social media before getting close to them yeah 100% i feel like that's how you like initially know somebody that's how they present themselves to the world so I feel like you don't want like a certain persona about the people you're with which is I don't know pretty important especially for business then yeah I'd check it out just perhaps to see if they have any extreme ideologies or you know if they post things that's clearly racist or something like that i think it's a given that's what you have to do right you meet meet a girl that you like and you guys link up you read your socials and and you have to just see what's up i know see what their vibe is i realize that's how you get to know someone too yeah i would definitely look them up on social media if I Yeah yeah i want to know what they're doing
[Music] we train to believe in things we want to believe in without proper like fing or verification of certain skills normally skills come along with some interest in particular topic you know rarely happen that somebody have zero interest in say aerospace engineering while being a great aerospace engineer there is personal life and there is professional life but it's hard to imagine that somebody has them so separated that you never follow anything on your like professional topics you can't just compartmentalize your personal and your professional lives this is not severance this is real life and the fact is people's interests tend to overlap between personal and professional and romantic and you know that's just the way people are built and so it's going to be reflected in their behaviors and from all of us at Social Profiler thank you for your time thank you for joining us today and remember it's better to know a person's interest before they've ever said a word [Music]
