When you hire new employees, you must find the right fit on many levels

When you hire new employees, you must find the right fit on many levels. This week, Cockerell presents a situation that forces you to consider the trade-offs that may occur when looking for the right candidate for the job. As a hiring manager in the healthcare industry, discuss how you might weigh the balance between finding a person with the right attitude vs. someone with the right skill sets. In addition, explain how you would address this balance when a specific situation (i.e nursing shortage, employee/physician referral, regulatory requirement etc) is an overriding component to the hiring process.
