candidate

, and forget about the importance of recruiting the right

candidate

from an employer's perspective. Recruiting for a post is equally challenging and time-consuming for an employer, as it is for an employee. There are several different qualities of a person that are required to successfully deliver a task, but is it possible to assess all of these in an interview? Educational qualifications and work experience, by far, are the most relied upon in terms of assessing a
