Hiring Analysts

Do some searching on LinkedIn or other resume sites. Select a person who would be a top selection for the job selected previously. In a blog post, share who you picked and why. 

It was a bit difficult answering this question as I was unable to view actual resumes on LinkedIn or other sites. I did however find one which I was able to. On this site I found the following person seeking any career in 'web/internet/digital marketing' (http://www.jobspider.com/job/view-resume-55004.html). I believe this candidate could fulfill the job requirements in my previous blog post.

What skills and experience do they have that fits the job?

 They hold a bachelors in marketing as well as an internship in promotional advertising and workshops in things like blogging, social media, web design, AdWords, mobile marketing and more. In addition to this they have knowledge and experience in e-commerce and have even worked as an e-commerce marketing manager for six years. 

How would you interview them to see if they'd be a good pick?  

 Due to the location of this individual I would first contact them to see if they were interested in a phone interview and then either conduct one then or set it up for the near future if they are busy. If they are able to do it immediately then it's perfect time to test the individual's knowledge as they would have not been able to prepare. Assuming the impression was positive then the individual could be flown out for a more official interview.


What particular traits would you look for?

I'd look for knowledge and experience, things I believe every interview looks for. Queering the person to see if they hold firm knowledge on relevant items would be done. For the job I choose it would be questions in relation to web analytical software as well as marketing ideas and strategies. Asking information on previous work and how they think they can improve web content/traffic should also be done.
