This document discusses transforming recruitment at a large, global Fortune 500 company from a legacy skill-based approach to one focused on purpose and generalists. It recommends hiring generalists using a case interview method and focusing on an applicant's top achievements, future goals, and strengths to support those goals, rather than specific skills or experience. This indirect approach better identifies people with a strong sense of purpose who will perform better and contribute more to the company's success.

8. * Our Base Assumption – Employees with a Purpose perform
and contribute up to an order of magnitude better than ones
that are drifting in their careers from job to job doing a
portion of what’s asked of them and merely existing.
* Are we confusing Measures with Purpose? E.g. measures like
skills, certifications, and the exact same past experience…?
* The Purpose is the Driver and the Reason behind Direction,
Effort, Motivation, and Probable Success…
* We should understand the Purpose
* And make an indirect measure of Mastery
* And then offer the Autonomy and support to enable Change
and Success
*

9. * Pre-Interview Screening Survey
1. What are your Top Achievements?
2. What do you want to Achieve in the future
3. What attributes and strengths, support that you have will enable you to do so?
* Follow up during the Interview
a) The top problems we face are…
b) What are your thoughts on each?
* Further
* Offer the Autonomy and Support and Drive Change
* (1) is an indirect measure of Mastery
* (2) is the outline of Purpose
* (3) is the Grounding in Reality
* (a) and (b) relate to – Probable Success in the new Role, Test of Clarity of Thinking,
Expectation Setting, Perspectives, Engagement etc…
