HOW TO RECRUIT THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB?

Put about 100 bricks in no particular order in a closed room with an open window. Then send 2 or 3 candidates in the room and close the door. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours and then analyze the situation. If they are counting the bricks, place them in the Accounts Department. If they are recounting them, place them in Internal Audit. If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks, place them in Engineering. If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order, place them in Planning. If they are throwing the bricks at each other, place them in Operations. If they are sleeping, put them in Security. If they have broken the bricks into pieces, place them in Information Technology. If they are sitting idle, put them in Human Resources.(ouch !) If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has been moved, place them in Sales. If they have already left for the day, place them in Marketing. If they are staring out of the window, place them on Strategic Planning. And then last but not least.

If they are standing around talking to each other and not a single brick has been moved..... Congratulate them and place them in Top Management.
