Interviewing, selecting and hiring scientists
Lab dynamics, 3rd ed. Downloadable Worksheets and interview guides
Important note to readers of Lab Dynamics 3rd ed.
The interview guides and score sheets in the 3rd edition of Lab Dynamics contain an entry called “Fit with the group” in both the face to face interview and team members interview forms. In these new downloadable score sheets we have replaced this entry with “Brings unique perspective, background.” The interview guide elaborates: “Does the candidate add diversity of background, approach, thinking or experience? Adding diversity in any of these dimensions can enhance group creativity and idea generation.” We believe that this substitution adds an important evaluation criterion to candidate selection and encourage readers to use these new forms.
