Last year, guest blogger Karrie Andes wrote about using her emotions when hiring a benefits broker. And just last month, I wrote about Financial Finesse’s Linda Robertson, who believes corporate hiring should be more like “American Idol.”
Now that EBN is hiring for the first time in about two years, I feel like I’m shooting for somewhere in between the two: trusting my gut instincts about a candidate’s character and chances to succeed, and letting a candidate’s skills do the talking through interviews and their writing samples.
