One thought on “Delicious LiveJournal Links for 11-2-2010”
On the one occasion I’ve been involved in hiring someone at a high enough level, it definitely was, as in the guy we hired as school IT manager is now Company IT Director and doing from what I understand a remarkably good job (the job I left back in 2007 at the language school). He would’ve been promoted slightly earlier if his lack of passport and actual nationality hadn’t beena bit of a problem for international travel (birth certificate said Rhodesia and Mugabe’s regime wouldn’t give him a passport).
We interviewed the 4 best applicants on paper, then called back the best two for a follow up-we paid travel expenses and a small gratuity to the guy who didn’t get the job on second interview, he was good and would’ve been good for that job, but the other guy was far far better.
That I was sat in to hire someone on 3* my salary on the grounds none of the rest of the senior team understood one end of a computer from the other was interesting but good experience for me.
That was smallish private language school with about 20 permanent admin staff and a varying number of teachers.
