2. Problem Statement
Companies need a way to find employees with
both technical and interpersonal skills that
match the job criteria and company

6. Novel Ideas (in my opinion).
22. Require IQ test on the resume.
23. Time the employees while they do basic
tasks.
7. My favorite ideas.
1. Offer internships for students.
That is a good way to figure out who is who. After a few
weeks it becomes apparent if the intern can survive at the
company.
2. Create a massive design competition.
If you offer a position at a company to the first few
winners or at least promise an interview, people will flock to
your competition. Selecting winners = selecting hirees.
3. Publish trainings online and invite people to
take them.
It is my favorite, because I feel like people are hungry for
learning, they just don’t know where to get it from. Given a
chance, they learn everything they need to be successful.
