a lesson in recruiting
Does your company have a problem in recruiting the right guy for the right chair? If yes, try this simple experiment. Put around 100 bricks in some particular order in a closed room with an open window. Then send 2-3 candidates into the room and close it from outside. Leave them alone, come back after 6 hours and then analyze the situation:-
If they are counting and recounting the bricks
-Put them in Accounts Dept.
If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks
-Put them in Engineering.
If they are arranging the bricks in some other order
-Put them in Planning.
If they are throwing the bricks at each other
-Put them in Operations.
If they are sleeping
-Put them in Security .
If they have broken the bricks into pieces
-Put them in Information Technology .
If they are sitting idle
-Put them in Human Resource Dept .
If they have thrown the bricks out of the window
-Put them in Materials Dept.
If they are clinging on to the bricks
-Put them in Treasury .
If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has moved
-Put them in Sales .
If they have already left for the day
-Put them in Marketing .
If they are staring out of the window
-Put them in the Export .
And last but not the least...
If they are talking to each other and not a brick has been moved
-Put them in Top Management !!!
