Hiring

Of late, I’ve been talking to, interviewing, analyzing people to hire. I love the process of discovering talents. I told that to one of the applicants who simply provided me their resume without any other word. It didn’t make me mad that they simply attached their resume and gave the subjet Jobs neither did it surprise me.

And eventhough I could or should, I didn’t trash their email immediately

Dropping your resume without any introduction? Come on, you can do better than that

I see you’re a fresh graduate. So tell me a little about yourself and why you chose IT as your major of study.

Did you like it? What did you like the most?

Out of the subjects you took, which was your fave?

Why did you enroll into IT? Has it been your dream course since high school or you just randomly picked IT when filling up your uni form?

I look forward to hear from you. In every individual, I believe there’s always an underlying talent. I love to discover that so don’t worry of being honest, okay?

Who knows that someday they would be a great Project Manager, an excellent bottoms-up Marketer, a PA you can count on and many many more.

You see, that’s the beauty about a small startup. You have time to go through the rather not so impressive candidates and analyze why.

But of course, I do set my standards after the first reply and say no to those who don’t have the interest, passion or motivation to strive forward. Do it as couraging as possible though. Never shut off an applicant for their lack of qualifications either on paper or during that interview sesson with you

You’d be pleased to know that they became a better person after the inteview session with you
