There is no such thing as a perfect employee. However, the rewards are great for employers that seek out applicants with an ideal in mind.
Employees are the backbone of the corporation.
There is an old saying about how a group is only as strong as it's weakest link. This is very true. From my experiences in the workforce, I have found that many times employers hire applicants for the wrong reasons. The emphasis is placed on hiring the most qualified applicant in the shortest time possible. I suggest that this technique is harmful and should not be used as a process of hiring representatives for your company.
