Hiring for Potential Hiring for Perfect Résumés
Here's a truth most hiring teams won't say out loud:
The candidate who checks every box isn't always the best hire.
The candidate who checks none of them sometimes becomes your best one.

Here's a truth most hiring teams won't say out loud:
The candidate who checks every box isn't always the best hire.
The candidate who checks none of them sometimes becomes your best one.
Every day, companies post job descriptions that read like a wish list — 5+ years for entry-level roles, a dozen "must-haves" for mid-level pay, and zero room for people who simply haven't had the right door opened yet.
Then those same companies say they can't find great talent.
The talent is there. The mindset is the problem.
Because here's what you can teach:
→ Tools and software
→ Systems and processes
→ Industry knowledge
→ Technical skills
Here's what you almost certainly cannot:
→ Work ethic
→ Genuine curiosity
→ The ability to own a problem
→ Resilience when things go wrong
→ The drive to figure it out — no matter what
Some of the most impactful people in any organization were once the "unqualified" candidate sitting in a waiting room, hoping someone would look past the gaps on their résumé and see who they could become.
They just needed one person to take a chance.
If you lead a team or influence hiring decisions — I'd challenge you to rethink what "qualified" actually means.
Look for hunger. Look for adaptability. Look for character.
The polished résumé tells you where someone has been.
Potential tells you where they'll take your company.
What's your take — are we filtering out the wrong people?

Please don't post a vacancy if the candidate has already been chosen.
For you, it may be just another job posting.
But for someone else...
It's a sleepless night spent updating a CV.
It's hours of preparation before an interview.
It's hope that "maybe this opportunity will change my life."
Every application represents a person with responsibilities, dreams, and a family depending on them.
When the hiring decision has already been made, but the job is still advertised, candidates aren't just wasting their time, they're investing their emotions in an opportunity they never truly had.
Transparency doesn't cost anything, but it means everything to job seekers.
Let's make hiring more honest, more respectful and more human.
Because behind every resume is a real person not just another application.
If you agree, let's start this conversation.
