Chapter 3

Do more criteria make a hire any safer?

Tiêu chí càng nhiều, tuyển có càng chắc?

The chapter's question

Which three criteria decide whether this person is hired?

Big idea

Criteria must be few enough to remember and clear enough for two assessors to reach the same result.

In this chapter

  1. Part 3.1

    Must-Have and Nice-to-Have

    Which criterion, if missing, means immediate rejection?

  2. Part 3.2

    Skill or Potential

    Does this role need someone productive immediately or someone who learns fast?

  3. Part 3.3

    Criteria as Behaviour

    Through what task will I see the candidate meet this criterion?

  4. Part 3.4

    Agreeing With the Manager

    Are the hiring manager and I looking for the same person?
