3 Traits that Define Good Candidates follow this blog post

 
Throughout my career I have always felt that if someone was willing I could teach him or her how to be a superior recruiter, compensation specialist, or benefits administrator.  As a matter of fact, I had a reputation for hiring people with little to no experience in HR and turning them into top producers.  What was my secret?
I looked for three traits in individuals. 
 
* If they were HUNGRY.  Did they have heart? Did they want it bad enough? Did they have the passion for victory?
* If they were HUMBLE.  Where they willing to admit when they made a mistake and take appropriate measures so they would not make the same mistake again?
* Where they SMART?  Did they listen and have the capacity to learn?
 
Try my formula.  It works!  Dr. D

    Great article on Traits that Define a Good Candidate.

    Three traits from my experience would have to include:

    1. Self motivation 2. A match between job and candidate (someone who likes what they do) 3. Rewards for their efforts
