What To Know Before Profiling Your Next Hire
www.avnetwork.com: As strange as it sounds, Hitchcock’s preparedness offers AV integrators a lesson that they can apply to recruiting. Everyone knows how expensive hiring someone is, many loathe even thinking about having to do it, and just as many have never figured out the formula for getting it right every time, which is why there’s a strong argument for taking the time to do one’s homework before grilling a candidate about their skills. For some, this starts with developing a profile of your ideal hire—not a job description exactly, but a sort of picture of what the employer wants this person to look like.

I was really interested in this article. I think it seems like common sense to look at the personality of a candidate before you hire them, so it was surprising that this is new to some employers. I really like the idea of incorporating bit of your company's culture in a job description to attract like minded employees. I saw a great internship application that was filled with jokes and terms specific to the company. It definitely gave me more insight to the fell of the company and made me want to apply.
This is definitely an interesting article for a few reasons. First of all, it is good to look at things from an employers point of view since we usually see/read articles for the potential employee. I definitely like what this author recommended to employers. If companies conveyed some of their culture in their job postings, potential applicants would have a better idea as to whether the company would be a good fit, saving time for both the applicant and potential employer.
