As being the human resources manager in charge of hiring a new sales manager for the latest fiber optics to the five key companies it is important to be open-minded. When reviewing applications it will be important to read all qualifications that each individual has and how much experience each candidate has at a previous employment. It will be important to review years spent in sale and years involves with sales of fiber optics. This job appears to be very specific in type of sales work this individual will be performing so more knowledge in fiber optics is a plus over number of years solely in sales of another product. Once the interview process begins with face to face interviews I feel it would be important to have group interviews with other team members from the sales department. This would help get a diverse group of people’s opinion on the newest team member and help view strengths and weakness that other team members saw. When there is a diverse group reviewing each candidate it will make for a better representative to the sales team when dealing with multiple diverse companies. I feel if I were to be interviewing alone I would not be able to fully assess each’s candidate’s abilities with dealing with multiple cultures. Choosing the best candidate for this position requires someone who has time and availability to travel during the week and after work hours have time to socialize with customers. The candidate must be culturally diverse to be understanding of each customer’s needs, like, and wants. The only way to sell a product to someone is to know what the client is looking for and understanding this. This position is not gender bias this position could be male or female, this position cannot be culture bias any person with the time, availability, experience, and education should be the proper candidate for
