Nowdays common problem with all employees is jumping jobs in short time and because of this companies loose money, time and efforts on candidates which gets trained and then a new person again takes same time to reach a level.

So, most important would be sticking to companies and growing with them.

 

Second a punctual and sincere candidate can take company higher as who doesnt have self discipline he/she can't contribute much.

 

Third would be skills and knowledge of roles and responsibilites given and how much improvement can be bought in routine work and how work can be done  in a efficient way.

so all above things is very important for any recruiter to select a candidate.

Interesting question , Rules of Business have gone changed  lets challange the traditional ways of recruiting which is out come of traditional ways of thinking and education we inhereted from greeks at that time when the society was balanced but now things have gone so volatile  so looks, personality, skills , Excel solely , traits , expertise are just water in the soup which is necessary for the soup -------but soup has to be more than water.  Employees are like honey bees who collect honey for the organization. only quality one should look for would they be able to collect honey . Are they work force .? or just *****
