Online Applicant Screening Idea
May 02, 2007
Last night I was doing some research on the Boston Consulting Group and came across their online interview preparation process.
They base part of their hiring decision on the questions that people ask. When you really think about it there are such things as "stupid questions" and it's a good tool to use to judge a potential applicant whether they are applying for an electrician slot or senior management.
See the Boston Consulting Group example

Favorite Book 2007
The Toyota Way is my favorite book for 2007. It had so many good ideas that I could not keep up and ended up reading it again and even buying the Field Book to go along with it.
Download Elegant Solutions from Change This which provides some highlights of the Toyota Production System. Too many ideas that are applicable to contractors to even count!
