HOW TO RECRUIT THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB?

Put about 100 bricks in some 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, put them in the accounts department

- If they are recounting them, put them in auditing

- If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks, put them in engineering

- If they are arranging the bricks in some strange 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 resources

- If they say they have tried different combinations but yet not a brick has been 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 on strategic planning

- And then last but not least, If they are talking to each other and not a single brick has been moved, “Congratulate and put them in top management
