“Hiring a person based on an economic need is unlikely to inspire the person to work at peak levels, especially once the economic need is met. In my opinion, it’s better to offer a person an incentive to grow, a chance to maximize their abilities, and to become better at what they want to do.”
― Lou Adler, The Essential Guide for Hiring & Getting Hired:

“If the person’s accomplishments are not comparable to what’s needed to be done, then it’s okay to eliminate the candidate from consideration. It’s not okay to dismiss a person based on emotions, intuition, feelings, or a superficial or biased assessment.”
― Lou Adler, The Essential Guide for Hiring & Getting Hired:

“Questions such as “Where do you want to be in five years?” or “If you could change just one thing, what would it be?” are irrelevant because they do not directly relate to the qualifications required for the job.”
― Johanna Rothman, Hiring Geeks That Fit

“Irrelevant questions focus on the person rather than on the person’s qualifications for the open job.”
