A Commonsense Idea for Hiring - Define the Job, Before Defining the Person

The question was raised when Microsoft’s next CEO was about to be hired and the criteria was- One should be a product visionary or someone who can successfully manage global business. To us this is the wrong question, driving the business and developing extraordinary products, both are essential. By defining the job before defining the person sounds better, because then the assessment involves how the person hired would accomplish both tasks.

We saw an ad for VP of Human Resources. It listed a set of experience requirements intermix with some generic responsibilities. To many of our customers, this was backward. It sounded far better to define the job, before defining the person to 85% of them. If a person has successfully accomplished something similar, he or she has exactly the level of skills, experience and academics as it is required, it gives a green signal for them. The job determines the skills needed, In reality, the skills needed do not define the work required.
