Hiring for Fit
By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter
This is hard for many organizations to hear–you are incapable to evaluate for fit. Why? Because job hunters are on good behavior and so are you. How can you evaluate whether someone would fit when everyone involved with hiring is putting on an act for each other? You can’t. You can project onto people but unless you conduct standardized personality testing, you cannot determine whether they will fit. AND you may be better served if you hire people who don’t fit and are radical (by your standards) thinkers who see the world differently than you. Embrace them and do not make them conform. Would you have wanted to hire Steve Jobs? Of course. Then most organizations would have tried to break him and never gotten much that was worthwhile
