Identifying skill-sets of potential job candidates

Get the right guy on the right chair!

Does your company have a problem in recruiting the right guy for the right chair? If yes, try this simple experiment.

Put around 100 bricks in some particular order in a closed room with an open window.
Then send 2-3 candidates into the room and close it from outside. Leave them alone,
come back after 6 hours and then analyze the situation:-

If they are counting and recounting the bricks
-Put them in Accounts Dept.

If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks
-Put them in Engineering.

If they are arranging the bricks in some other 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 Resource Dept .

If they have thrown the bricks out of the window
-Put them in Materials Dept.

If they are clinging on to the bricks
-Put them in Treasury .

If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has 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 the Export Dept.

And last but not the least...
If they are talking to each other and not a brick has been moved
-Put them in Top Management !!!
