Continuing on our saga to hire good candidates \u2013 here is what we are looking for. I\u00a0believe\u00a0this applies both for our internal hiring at both\u00a0Pragna\u00a0<\/a>and Smart Cloud\u00a0companies, as well as the hiring projects we undertake for our clients. Essentially, there is a lot of difference between high potential hires<\/strong>\/candidates and just another\u00a0hire<\/strong>\/candidate.<\/p>\n

Though It’s not always possible to hire the \u201chigh potential\u201d ones, one can at least try to evaluate if we have found one! There sure is a very short supply of the high potential hires, which is probably the only reason why Pragna even exists.<\/p>\n

Let’s see what defines a high potential candidate (Hire)<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong>\u00a0Ambition<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 I would rate this higher than the others just from the fact that we are talking about a \u201chigh potential\u201d hire and not just another hire. Ambition drives people to scale heights beyond their means and wild dreams. Makes the impossible possible. This is #1 for high potential hires. So, sometimes I get excited when I meet people with ambitions and sometimes have been guilty of overlooking other things :-(.<\/p>\n

2. Ability<\/strong> \u2013 One could argue this should be #1 (maybe true for regular hires). This is to validate some qualities\/capabilities that one needs in oneself to achieve the ambitions. Some of these can be tested easily in the interview process, and some probably are a gut call or a marginal call based on prior work history.<\/p>\n

3. Agility \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0This is extremely important for high potential hires, that one demonstrates flexibility (especially in startup environments) and also tendency to take a step back to review\/analyze, identify root causes and always to keep an open mind to change, feedback, business\u00a0strategy, criticism etc. and should have openness to share thoughts and learn.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Achievement \u2013<\/strong> If the hires<\/a>\/candidates have certain amount of experience, then the above must have resulted in some\u00a0achievements\u00a0in their careers. I would think identifying their\u00a0achievements\u00a0with special emphasis on the above areas would give proof points about their potential. I don\u2019t think it’s right to measure this in terms of $ revenue\u00a0achieved\u00a0or the valuation of the company (which I have myself been guilty of in the past), but more in terms of overcoming the adversities and challenges to\u00a0achieve\u00a0meaningful outcomes.<\/p>\n

Well that\u2019s it, The four A\u2019s to find the high potential candidates; gives me a little more structure to the interviews I need to do at Pragna and Smart Cloud.<\/p>\n
