“Somebody once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if you don’t have the first, the other two will kill you. You think about it; it’s true. If you hire somebody without [integrity], you really want them to be dumb and lazy.”

-- Warren Buffet

This is what your post is based on, right?

Some managers will be better judges of character than others but as soon as you formalize the process, you also very likely open it up to be exploited by people with low integrity and high intelligence.



This is why the human element to recruiting will never go away.


Maybe by folks who are good at recruiting, but I'm not sure how many of those people there are.
