post «Becoming a Better Judge of People»

I do believe the following questions are very useful in any situation you need to recruit talent:

1. What is the talk-to-listen ratio of this person?
2. Is this person an energy-giver or -taker?
3. Is this person likely to "act" or "react" to a task
4. Does this person feel authentic or obsequious?
5. What's the «spouse»/«significant other» of this person like?
6. How does this person treat someone s/he doesn't know?
7. Is there an element of struggle in this person's history?
8. What has this person been reading?
9. Would you ever want to go on a long car ride with this person? Or if you were stuck at an airport with a candidate, how would you really feel?
10. Do you believe that this person is self-aware?

I have found those great questions in an excellent post at HBR by Anthony K. Tjan: check the full post at http://blogs.hbr.org/2013/06/becoming-a-better-judge-of-peo/

executive search for Mavrx

OPEN POSITIONS:
  1. HEAD OF COMPUTER VISION (M/F)
  2. WEB DEVELOPER (M/F)
Can you help us…launch a revolution in the fields of aerial imaging and robotics?

Mavrx is a robotic services company causing a paradigm shift in physical data collection and analysis. We are on the brink of a fundamental change in the way people utilize aerial imaging and robotics to make critical real world decisions. Until now, automated remote sensing using space-based satellites has been underutilized and inaccessible to many organizations. Mavrx is building an intelligent and autonomous web connected fleet of drones to deploy for localized industrial data collection. Our vision is to automate and improve the way enterprises plan, track, and execute their work in the physical world.

  • Are you passionate about aeronautics, robotics and image processing?
  • Are you confident you can thrive in a very fast paced environment and flat hierarchy where ideas flow freely and rapid prototyping is the norm?
  • Do you have the interpersonal skills to effectively deal with our international and multidisciplinary team and our clientele that spans some of the largest industries in the world?
  • Are you an entrepreneurial spirit, ready to invest your time and energy to grow both your career and this startup company?
