When hiring people, it is important that the candidates which you are choosing for the position would be "high-potential" ones. High potential candidates are those applicants who seems to have an edge as compared to other applicants and also has that "thing" which could make them very effective in the future. These high potential candidates are also the people who are often groomed to be future leaders within the organization.
This kind of hiring is slowly taking place in different organizations as shown in this survey. Here is an interesting piece of information from the said report:
If you want to be groomed for a leadership position, then it pays to be viewed as a “high-potential” employee, or “HiPo,” for short, according to a recent study conducted by the Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp). The study found that 69% of the 469 responding organizations have a high-potential assessment process in place, and most of those organizations (70%) say that a development plan is part of that process.
