I think to automatically dismiss someone because of a spelling mistake on their CV is pathetic. It speaks volumes about this man's stupidity. He admits: " I've made more mistakes than I care to mention" when asked about mistakes he's made when hiring.
How is it pathetic? If you write a CV and cant even be bothered to spell check 1 or 2 pages before sending it out to companies, that is downright sloppy and lazy
Within reason. If there's one word spelt wrong, no biggie. If he routinely gets the company name or cities wrong or really obvious mistakes, that's something different. Depending on the job as well.
It might seem harsh to dismiss a candidate for poor spelling, even for just a single error, but there are layers to this. Has the person misspelled because they've been careless, too lazy to check properly, ignorant, uninformed, or relying on a computer spell checker? Is it possible that this is typical of them? Do you want somebody who manifests one or more of those traits working for your organisation? Moreover, if you're hiring somebody for a role in which accuracy matters (and it tends to matter in over 90% of jobs), do you really want to take a chance on somebody that lets inaccuracy slip through the net like that? Of course nobody is perfect; of course people make mistakes, and of course mistakes - especially minor ones - can be forgiven. However, hiring an employee is a task requiring discernment and sifting of the field in order to find someone that is right for the role on offer. Just as the marathon is won by the fastest runner, so the job is won by the candidate that makes no mistakes, or fewer than other candidates.
Music is far too loud
You might have overdone with the volume of the music.
Great interview looks like it should be about the person.
The man who owns the Range retail group cant write but is still successful.
Love Claude’s brutality
The music’s nearly drowning out the talking
Inaccuracies is spelt wrong……..

@@matthewmaguire71 you’re right man, this “bigbad” dude is just a nonce.
