CLEARING THE HIRING HURDLES: ENSURING TRIPLE FITS

This concept paper discusses the dire need to hire right talent in a competitive environment, and the difficulties organizations have to face in doing so. The author proposes hiring to be considered as match-making and to ensure triple fits, namely task-talent fit, person-position fit and individual-institution fit. The rationale for each fit with requisites from HR professionals and organizations are also discussed. Citing previous work done locally, the author cautions the decision makers on the rush and urgency that might undermine the accuracy. The paper also argues for the need to use right tools such as a well-designed assessment center to assess the triple fits in the proper manner.
