McCain vs. Obama Using Adler’s 10-Factor Scorecard

I am a long time fan of Lou Adler - I read his books and use his one-question interview technique a lot when I interview candidates for job openings. But I have to say, I'm glad the President isn't chosen using Lou's 10-Factor Scorecard! Here's a teaser from his newsletter on this issue (you'll have to click on the link to read the whole article! *smile*)

"In my book, Hire With Your Head (John Wiley & Sons, 3rd Edition, 2007), I introduced the idea of using an evidence-based assessment process when evaluating and comparing candidates. This is based on using ten factors that have been shown to accurately predict on-the-job success, and on having the hiring team rank each one in a group meeting on a 1-5 scale after the interviews are completed. Click here for a sample of the form we use for staffing and middle-management positions. I thought it would be interesting to use this 10-Factor Scorecard to evaluate who would make a better President, Obama or McCain." Read the full scorecard here
