Have you ever been involved in a recruitment process in the IT age?
I have. It is very easy to interview 12 candidates in 3 days. That's only 4 a day. I used to do 6.
Yes, I have been both sides of the table for many interviews and had not much time for IT wallers!
They are like drones that fly about aimlessly.
. I was in charge of an engineering department and had the latest computer on my desk. It was never switched on!!
You really have to SEE what candidates are like to make a judgement. We have a failing business and the Chairman stuck to the same people that created it....Is that good or bad management skills?
I feel sorry for Alex and Lee but the reality of a results business means you really have to have the skills to do the job and in some ways, its unfair to ask them to do the manager's job without experience and why it can be detrimental to their well being.
