How to select the right candidate for the job....

Put about 100 bricks in no particular order in a closed room with an open window. Then send 2-3 candidates into the room and close it from the outside. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours, and then analyse the situation:

(a) If they are counting and recounting the number of bricks -
PUT THEM IN ACCOUNTS.

(b) If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks -
PUT THEM IN ENGINEERING.

(c) If they are arranging the bricks in some other order -
PUT THEM IN PLANNING.

(d) If they are throwing the bricks at each other -
PUT THEM IN OPERATIONS.

(e) If they are sleeping -
PUT THEM IN SECURITY.

(f) If they have broken the bricks into pieces -
PUT THEM IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.

(g) If they are sitting idle -
PUT THEM IN THE HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT.

(h) If they have thrown the bricks out of the window -
PUT THEM IN THE LOGISTICS DEPARTMENT.

(i) If they have already left for the day -
PUT THEM IN MARKETING.

(j) If they are talking to each other and not a single brick has moved -
PUT THEM IN TOP MANAGEMENT.
