Hiring Analysts – Module 13


For this post, I chose a gentleman I know of through a friend at GMI named Earle Richards. Earle is a Digital Media Analyst for A&E, and he does what we’ve been discussing in this class for a living.

See Earle’s LinkedIn here:  http://www.linkedin.com/in/earlerichardsjr

As you can see, Earle has extensive experience in the field of Digital Marketing. He has served in both consultant and senior corporate roles, and has experience with Omniture, Cognos, and more.

Personally, I think Earle’s qualifications speak for themselves in many ways. To ensure that he would be a good fit for the position, I would both want to gauge his analytical thought processes by asking him questions that assess his ability to size up a situation – something like:  In situation X, what would you do and why?

Additionally, I would want to see if he had any implementation recommendations and why.
In the end, I feel that Earle would be an excellent candidate for the position based on his extensive experience, skills, and knowledge.

  1. Earle seems quite qualified. Are there any particular skills that you would be concerned about? I think it might be beneficial to ask him of the different tools he uses and what he prefers about it. This could give you a feeling on how he might fit in the company.

    1. Agreed.

      This particular job posting seemed opened to a breadth of skill and knowledge -- hence the reason I would consider Earle an excellent candidate.

      I suppose I would want to know some of the software he's worked with -- as it seems Vanguard doesn't really have a platform they're reliant on.
