Recruiting Human Resources for your company is a hugely important task, and for many hiring managers, it is easy to spot great candidates. Deepak challenges how we have looked at stellar job applicants and urges us to look in places we haven’t before and look for people we haven’t looked to before.
When Deepak was hiring for his company a couple of years ago, he came across an applicant that stood out from the rest for completely different reasons than you’d imagine: she had no relevant experience, she was a single mother and had gone through many hardships in her life. Instead of looking for someone else, Deepak decided to take a chance on the young woman and has since been thoroughly impressed with her performance. Now, he urges hiring managers to reconsider how they hire, and on what basis, in order to build a more diverse and resilient team.
