Part 7/11:
A telling measure of a candidate’s suitability is their ability to complete straightforward tasks promptly. For example, when asked to send a short email detailing three admired DTC brands, a surprising 40% of applicants fail to comply. This simple test reveals much about a candidate’s follow-through, initiative, and character—a quick way for recruiters to weed out those who aren’t serious or committed. The principle here is that if you can’t perform basic tasks outside of interviews, it’s unlikely you’ll excel once on the job.
