HOW TO RECRUIT THE BEST PERSON FOR THE JOB



Put some 100 bricks in some particular order in a closed room with an open window. Then send two or three 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 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, 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 in Strategic Planning.

And then last but not the least, if they are talking to each other and not a single brick has moved,
congratulate them and put them in Top Management.

Aaah, but what would you have to do with those bricks to get yourself sent to the Quality department?

Please tell me the answer is NOT...

Inspect the bricks.

Hit yourself in the head with them, repeatedly, or until you were dazed to the point that what everyone else was doing with the bricks made perfect sense?:D

I believe a good quality person would divide the others in the room into two teams and initiate the Red Brick Experiment.

I believe a good QC person would have rejected them all as being the wrong color and put them in bond outside the window.
