Recently, while conducting an interview I made the decision to let the applicant talk and go off on a tangent (usually rein this in and don't allow...for some reason let this applicant)- the applicant started making racial slurs, burping and then proceeded to fix his false teeth which "were just bugging" him to no end! Needless to say, the interview ended and this applicant was thanked for their time! Will not be seeing them again!!

Daily Q&A

How to Address Flagging Motivation?

How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
