If you are a manager, what kind of person do you want to hire?

Question

P.S. I am horrible in interviews. My success lies in my ability to prove myself! I ALWAYS work my way up but don't necessarily get hired at the top.

Answer 1

a good person, but some1 who doesnt sound to good to be true

Answer 2

I am a manager in a large corporation. The people I want to hire have two main characteristics: (1) they are qualified for the job, and (2) they will fit in with the company culture (which usually includes intangibles like teamwork, communication skills, organization, etc.). The interview is important mainly for (2) - usually you can see people's qualifications on their resume. You wouldn't bring them in if they weren't capable of doing the job. Their ability to talk to you, to answer questions, to give you either an eery, nervous feeling, or a feeling of comfort and ease can be gaged at the interview.

Personally, I like those who are qualified, but don't take themselves too seriously. They communicate well and may have an aw, shucks attitude. But that's just me. I want someone who needs little direction, but is still a high performer (self-motivated).

Answer 3

Well, being in business for quite a few years now, I will hire people with the following priority:

1. Character, this person must have a good character like honesty, firms on his principles, hardworking, etc..

2. Skills and competency. this person must have the competency and skills needed for the job.

3. Personality, how he take care of his own looks,

Hardworking, honest.
If I am a manager, I would take the challenge to hire anyone qualified for the job but to train them and sharpen in every possible; also keeping them happy at the same time.

Answer 5

People who have started at the bottom of your industry. People who have experience in your field of work, especially the ones who have seen it from the bottom tend to be the ones who are willing to work hard and will take themselves far given the opportunity. Look for clean cut people but don't be stereotypical, allow for personality but you want a generally good person who takes their job seriously.
