While recruiting a new employee, the employer should pay more attention to their personal qualities, rather than qualification and experience, to what extent do you agree or disagree? Give your opinion with example.

Appointing a new employee in an organisation can often be a challenging task. Not only do we have to make sure that the recruit is adept in his field, but we

also

have to take care of his behavioural issues. While the recruiter evaluates a variety of aspects like qualification,

experience

and

work

ethic, many argue that

personality

should be given more emphasis than technical expertise.

However

, I believe that

this

does not always hold true. Personal qualities play an important role in deciding whether the

candidate

is fit for the job or not. The way the individual reacts to certain situations shows his management style and

work

ethic. If an individual reacts aggressively to minor issues, it can be deduced that he is temperamental and does not handle pressure well.

Moreover

, if the

person

has a bossy attitude and superiority complex, not only would

this

hamper the efficiency of the company but would

also

make it difficult for people around him to

work

.

For example

, screaming and humiliating subordinates for non-completion of

work

without understanding the reasons can majorly

demotivate

other employees leading to dissatisfaction.

This

may prove to be a threat to the organisation and

thus

, recruitment of

such

candidates is not ideal. Be that as it may, technical aspects like

experience

and qualification are equally important and decide how well the

person

will perform in his position. Completion of a degree or other qualification sets a standard to the company's requirement and ensures that the

candidate

has basic and minimum knowledge about the technicalities.

In addition

,

experience

justifies the

person

's ability to apply his theoretical knowledge.

Furthermore

, skills define his quality of

work

, all of which helps the organisation to be more efficient and effective and earn a larger margin of profit.

For example

, a

candidate

A with 10 years of

experience

will always be better than another

candidate

B with 5 years of

experience

as A will be more familiar with practical

work

situations and how to deal with them.

Therefore

, these aspects majorly affect the accomplishment of the company's goals. In conclusion,

although

some argue that

personality

traits are a more important criterion than

experience

, I strongly believe that both these factors have equal weighting as it is clear that a highly experienced individual with a problematic

personality

does the same amount of harm as a zero experienced

person

with an ideal

personality

.
