Case 2.3 Recruiting for the Bank
1. Based on ideas described in the trait approach, do you think Pat is looking for the right characteristics in the people he hires?
I think he is looking for the right characteristics but there is always more characteristic that can be reviewed in the candidates. Also, people can look great on paper but still not make a great fit.
2. Could it be that the retention problem raised by upper management is unrelated to Pat’s recruitment criteria?
Yes, Upper management sees everything that is going wrong but not always whats right.
3. If you were Pat, would you change your approach to recruiting?
No, I think his approach is fine. You can only guess so much on how a person will fit within a company.
Study the following cases from Chapter 2 (Trait Approach) and Chapter 3 (Skills Approach). Answer the questions that follow each of the cases.
