In the business of recruitment finding the best qualified candidate vs. the best fitting candidate can be the real challenge.

o  First Impressions can be false.

o  Fitting what?  The first job and the next job--and the job after that job?

o  Image doesn't always reflect depth.

o  Past performance is prologue.

o  Past accomplishments of note trump high potential with little to no track record of note, particularly for more senior level positions.
