HR101 Recruitment

If I'm ever in a position (god forbid) to make recruitment decisions for management positions, this is what I will do; provided that the candidates are fresh out of college.

The recruitment process is based on one sound and very basic principle: The ideal candidate should not have an iota of subject knowledge while having successfully completed a study program.

I will establish the first criterion by asking a few intellectually challenging questions like, what were the subjects you studied in your final year? How do you spell the word 'information' etc... If a candidate demonstrates acumen in answering these, they are out, ofcourse. Those that get through this initial hurdle I will then carefully screen to establish that they infact, have successfully completed their degree program.

That's it. Simple init. Select a person who has passed his/her degree, but yet, who does not have a clue about what he or she has studied.

Now look at the reasoning behind this, if you have not seen it already. A manager has to be skilled in getting work done; he/she doesn't really need to know how to do the work. Now ask yourself how would a person without any knowledge pass a degree? How the dickens did they do it? By getting most of his/her work done by others ofcourse. Such a person would have been managing his peers in such a way as to enable him/her to pass; for a duration of 3 to 4 years to boot. What better credentials for ones management ability, eh?

This post is not directed at any individual. It should be treated purely at a conceptual level

pp: I also think that chaps with nothing better to do than come up with trash such as this, should seriously consider getting a life.

That is why I'm now going on a waffle binge; the closest substitute for a life is ofcourse, good food.
