our corporate hiring policy explained

Put about 100 bricks in no particular order in a closed room with an open window. Then send 2 or 3 candidates in the room and close the door. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours and then analyze the situation. If they are counting the bricks - Put them in the accounts department. If they are recounting them - Put them in auditing. If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks - Put them in engineering. If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order - Put them in planning. If they are throwing the bricks at each other - Put them in operations. If they are sleeping - Put them in reception. If they have broken the bricks into pieces - Put them in information technology. If they are sitting idle - Put them in human resources If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has been moved - Put them in sales. If they have already left for the day - Put them in marketing. If they are staring out of the window - Put them on strategic planning. If they are talking to each other and not a single brick has been moved congratulate them and put them in top management!
