Call me naive, but I have trouble believing that employee pre-testing
suddenly does not work (or does not work with millenials), and that we
can no longer determine the predictability of desirable character
traits (Bill Greif: if you're reading this, I hope you'll comment).
That desirable people are hard to find is nothing new, particular
traits of the millenial generation notwithstanding. Personality
profiling coupled with a (right) set of company values and
expectations of conformity to them should be able to create a strong
company culture (and buy-in to it) that precludes being handicapped by
the immature likes of 60 Minutes' chosen young spokespeople.
