If the candidate is talented, should not there be extra effort to get that candidate onboard?
The reason being, talent can't be taught in a classroom. It can't be bought.One is born with talent, ability, flair or aptitude. They either have it or they don't. A God given gift.
Would it not be sensible to take the talented candidate and teach them, what can be taught.
That too me, would be common sense.
I did mention this to him on the comments. My query was removed and no response.
Maybe someone from human remains, from any outfit could explain this to me. At the moment I am unable too get my head around the thought process, that allows them to come up with this nonsense.
I am not even close to being recruiter or have anything related to HR just my tought as an open conversation.
In most fields of life talent is only needed at the top, highest levels of it. Yes you most likely will need talent to fly for blue angels or red arrows etc. but do you need it to fly highly automated in a rather “boring” type of operation where you press 10 same buttons for 10 hours? Another problem with talented person is he/she is more likely to feel wasted in his job, then they feel the need to change for another job that will use them and benefit them how they deserve. Airlines probably need average person that follows sops, can read manuals, passes sims, doesn’t break the law and accepts shortcuts on SID and STAR.
