Are you responsible for hiring staff? If so, then this article by Rosa Say on lifehack.org is a must you.

“…you can get very sophisticated with discovering every facet of someone’s potential and capacity. Yet you can still end up making a hiring decision that won’t be a good one for either of you, if you ignore something that is pretty basic. Surprisingly, I have yet to find this in any training I’ve ever seen for recruitment, interview, selection, and hiring, yet in actual practice, I’ve learned that it is absolutely essential as the final deciding factor.

It’s not objective. It’s completely subjective. One can hope it’s about the “high road” of character, but in all truthfulness, it’s much closer to that shallowness of personality.”
