Now organisations are taking unusual steps to ensure they make the right hire for a leadership role, from scrutinising the lifestyles of candidates to evaluating their personal horoscopes. The candidate appeared to be the perfect fit for the CEO's job. He had the qualifications, and the experience. But as he was being driven for his final interview, he lost his temper due to a traffic jam caused by a heavy shower. But when the company driver reported the incident back at HQ, red flags went up. “The company’s management took serious note of the driver's complaint. They felt if a candidate couldn’t maintain his cool on a rainy day, how would he lead the business, where he would be firefighting on a daily basis?” says Hunt Partners managing partner Suresh Raina, who was part of the search process. The candidate eventually didn't get the job.
