We needed a man who could pick his own team

1 Jan 1947

383 "WE were looking for a man to get our new section going — to pick his own team and run it. A managerial job, mainly, needing a good organizer. It was rather a problem. "We solved it—successfully—by going to our Regional Appointments Office. I don't know a better or easier way. They're linked by teleprinter with all the other Regions, so they cover the whole country. They interview, 'screen' and classify men and women for every kind of job above a certain level. Result: you tell them your needs, and in two or three days you have a short list of candidates for interview—carefully sifted in advance, so that each one is a 'possible' for the post.
