In this series, discover great tips to enhance your selection strategy.

When someone attacks projects and tasks with energy, they will be: 

  • Passionate about work activities.
  • Goes above and beyond what’s expected.

Points to consider: 

  • You can’t teach someone self‐motivation. You either have it or you don’t.
  • The hiring challenge is to establish if the ‘enthusiastic self-starter’ you are interviewing really is self-motivated.
  • Often it doesn’t take long for a highly motivated person to out-perform their peers only months into a job.
  • The problem in interviews is all candidates can appear self-motivated.
