Sample answer:
- When adding an employee to any company- it’s important the new person benefit not only a specific team but the company as a whole. My ideal candidate would be a flexible team player ready to pitch in and help out when the bottom line is at stake. I would want someone who isn’t afraid to work in a group and share credit for work if it benefits the company as a whole and someone who is constantly looking for tools to help himself and his coworkers. Overall I think I would want someone who has a diverse set of practical and soft skills to strengthen our staff in its entireness.
