Devoted to recruiting, finding top recruits, and hiring tips and advice

Recruiting Mythbusters continues with: Hire Only The Best

I overhear this every once in a while.  People sometimes drop this advice as with as much forethought as recommending a movie or a place to eat. 

The problem is, it makes sense on the surface, but when you dig deeper, it doesn't really hold water.  Here's three reasons why:

• Lake Wobegon Effect
• There is no "i" in "team"
• Ordinary people, with the right vision and purpose, will be extraordinary

I hear it everywhere.  Sometimes I even here it  from people in my own shop (I won't ever admit that publicly though) that the really great people are just nowhere to be found.

Oh, please.
