The Green Dot, a Deloitte Film Festival finalist sneaks more corporate recruitment tips into two and one half entertaining minutes than most highly paid advisors can eek out in a 90
minute presentation.

For example:

• Jargon & Acronyms Are The Language Of The Bluff
  Virtually anyone can used jargon and acronyms in a way that sounds persuasive. Don’t be fooled by a recruit who sounds convincing because
  they talk the talk – make them prove they walk the walk. Anyone can say
  they helped ‘integrate synergy’ – but proving results is a true
  super-power.
• Team Work Is Undervalued…Ensure It Is Not Underused By Your Recruit
  Does your recruit instantly take all the credit for past accomplishments, or is he quick to point out the virtue of the teams
  that have supported him in the past? While you want your recruit to be
  confident enough to share past successes, there is a fine line between a
  confident force and a cocky distraction. Quiz your recruit on the
  results he or she helped past team members achieve, rather their own
  results, to ensure this virtue is in place.
• Adaptability Is Key
  Recruiting, by its very nature, will change a small part of the world. After all, you are bringing in a new force to a new environment. Can
  your recruit quickly adapt to any new world, as our superhero does when
  he realizes he has chosen a superhero outfit on Hawaiian day?
• Selfless Nature Supersedes Strive For Stardom
  The road to glory is very rarely fueled solely by the strive for stardom. (And those that have used this fuel on their path will
  oftentimes be those who flame out quickly once reaching the top.) You
  are looking for a recruit selfless enough to know that the success of
  the team and the company is the ultimate goal. Look for a recruit with
  the rare super power of selflessness.
• Superheroes Enjoy What They Do
  Some recruits will say nearly anything to secure a position. Much like a bargain shopper dumping a favorite store for a lower price,
  these recruits will easily be swayed away from a new job by the next
  ’something better’ that comes along. Your ideal recruit will fit into
  their new role like a superhero fits into a cape. Really question your
  recruit to determine if they are a fit for this position. Will they
  take to it like a superhero takes to the open sky, or will they
  distracted by the next fluffy cloud?

Consider these lessons and the idea of a “superhero search” to improve your human resources strategy.
