Most people send me so called “motivational letter” with their CV.
Mostly full of same bullshit.
How they would love to work with us, looking for new challenge, willing to learn new skills, this is their dream job, finally something they can enjoy… bla bla bla

Why I dare to say most of it is bullshit? Simple reason.
80% of people selected for round 2 didn’t show up.
Why? Simple information saying they will undertake test and will have to answer four specific questions about their previous results (send to them upfront!) will make them not to come.

Where is all that passion and eagerness for new challenges.
Why they will give up job they would so much love to do so easily?
I guess, all of them expect to come over for half an hour interview where they would try to make good impression and be hired because they did so.

Don’t hire so easy.
More difficult is to get in, longer people stay and you get more quality.
Hire slowly and make it hard to get in.
Look for specific examples of job well done from their past, require specific results and hard facts.

It is great the person is likeable and left a good impression but what really counts is results.
