Is the hiring
manager an idiot??
A SCORING SYSTEM from McCrabby....
1. When I'm asked to recruit a new candidate, I:
a. Advertise jobs that don't exist
b. Interview 40 people, don't call any of them back, and don't hire anyone
c. Make verbal assurances of an offer, and then never offer (and joke about it)
d. All of the above.
2. To determine who gets interviews, I:
a. Look at Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter for the best looking candidates
b. Throw 50 resumes into the air and interview the ones that land print-side-up
c. Phone-screen 20 candidates, tell them I'll call them back, and go play golf
d. All of the above.
3. During the phone-screening interview, I:
a. Ask questions that have nothing to do with any job
b. Look for people with 20-years of experience for trainee positions
c. Cut my fingernails, and ignore most of what's said
d. All of the above.
4. In the face-to-face interview, I:
a. Make several commitments for which I have no intention of follow-through
b. Ask questions that are designed to irritate the applicant
c. Take phone calls, straighten my desk, and eat a sandwich
d. All of the above.
5. When it's time to make an offer to a qualified candidate, I:
a. Delay the event for at least a week, testing the candidate's staying power
b. Call back at least three applicants for ONE MORE interview
c. Offer one-half of whatever the last job paid the candidate
d. All of the above.
Each (a) answer is worth one point, each (b) answer is worth two points, each (c) answer is worth three points, and each (d) answer is worth four points.
Five points: Stupid
Six to 11 points: An Idiot
12 to 17 points: A Complete Idiot
17 to 20 points: A Consummate Hiring Manager
Have a great weekend...
