Must-have versus trainable skills in a hiring brief
Separate skills required on the first day from those you can teach.
Define the requirement
Separate skills required on the first day from those you can teach. An unnecessarily long must-have list can exclude suitable candidates, while missing a genuinely essential qualification can create a poor match. Tie every requirement to an actual task or responsibility.
Put it into practice
Review the brief line by line and ask what happens if the skill is absent at the start. Label it essential, trainable or optional, and identify who provides training. Use the same priorities when comparing candidates rather than changing the standard after each interview.
