Hiring based on talent

<p>One of the challenges of <a class="wikilink" href="/managers/">managers</a> is hiring the proper people for the job. <a class="wikilink" href="/entrepreneurs/">Entrepreneurs</a> face this challenge very early on, and they are normally ill prepared for the task. Considering the <a class="wikilink" href="/four_insights_of_great_managers/">Four insights of great managers</a>, the pattern that can be observed is that managers hire based on <strong><a class="wikilink" href="/talent/">talent</a></strong>.</p> <p>Most people default to checking these 4 dimensions of a candidate to make a decision: </p> <ul> <li><strong>Experience</strong>, in the sense of previous work place, and work history. </li> <li><strong>Brainpower</strong>, thinking that raw intelligence will make candidates adapt (and judged based on educational pedigree)</li> <li><strong>Willpower</strong>, in which the technical part can be taught and the shear desire to success must be inherent. </li> </ul> <p>But those are not related to the <em>talent</em> of a person to carry out the tasks that are expected. </p> <p>Tags: <a href="/tags/scipreneurs">#scipreneurs</a> <a href="/tags/management">#management</a></p>
