Reading people...

From the end of 2012 into the first half of 2013, we've been interviewing a lot of different of so-called “professional people” and have found the process extremely difficult and even less conclusive.

The bottom line is that one has to remain extremely critical and draw some practical conclusion before making the leap forward. Truth is, all these pros are trying to sell themselves and are generally a few notches under what they are trying to project, so it's always a good idea to make note, let time settle, add questions about the candidates and review them after a few days.

Of course, what's most important to have in mind what quality or what performance level is the most important in that search and make the best choice accordingly.
