The Better Candidate
You are hiring for a job. The strongest candidate is rude to the receptionist when they think nobody important is watching. The next candidate is less skilled but treats everyone well.
Who do you hire?
Then ask
- Would your answer change if the rude candidate could make the company far more money?
- What if you badly needed the team to like the new person?
- How much should one ugly moment tell you about someone?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
