Evaluating candidate for high potential

It seems pretty obvious that you'd want to hire the right people, but what does that really mean. When it comes to hiring high potentials you're looking for other companies' stars who will fit the profile. Individuals with ambition, ability, and commitment. You're looking for future leaders who can directly contribute to the success of your business. You probably already have an interview process in place, but are your questions tailored to help you find high potential candidates, maybe not. You might have an opportunity to ask some new questions.

So, let's look at the type of questions you can ask to identify candidates who might become high potentials in your organization. Ambition is one of the three qualities you're looking for during an interview. Ask questions about the future. Where would candidates see themselves in five years, and why? Take a look at their resume, have they moved up or taken on lots of different roles in a short time-frame? Talk to them about career progress, or ask them about a time when they made a career move.
