Screening Prospective Employees Mfano

Screening Prospective Employees Part I After reviewing 81 studies, Professor Van Iddekinge found little correlation between an employee’s prior work experience and their performance. Hiring decisions are often based on a prospective employee's prior experiences, but now this Harvard Business Review research tells us experience has little impact on future performance! When the professor was asked what employers should focus on instead, he encouraged employers to focus on knowledge , skills , and traits of the employee, which God endows in each of us. For example, in Exodus 35:30 we read, “See, the Lord has chosen Bezalel … and He has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom , with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills .” In this series, we will discuss the importance of seeking knowledge, skills, and traits in a new employee.
