If I were in the business owner’s shoes, this would definitely be a tough decision and I would be weighing my decision heavily on factors that the reading mentioned such as inside referrals to make the final decision. When pushed to their extreme limits, Avery has much more production capability than Jaime, but cannot be as consistent as Jaime each day. Because this is an essential position within the company, I would personally be more willing to give the position to Jaime since he does not slack off and consistently works hard to the best of his abilities. Although Avery has a much higher performance ceiling, I would not want to fill this position with an unreliable or slacking employee. A type of job where it might be more beneficial to hire someone like Avery over Jaime would be a job in which there are strict deadlines to meet, where someone like Avery may be able to exercise a higher capacity of production than someone like Jaime in a short period of time, or when the pressure is on. The thing that makes someone like Avery so valuable in these types of scenarios is their ability to work in a high pressure environment and find innovative solutions. A type of job where it would be better to hire someone like Jaime over Avery would be a job like accounting or an office job, where it is important to stay on top of work consistently and always perform at a high-functioning level. What makes someone like Jaime so valuable in these types of jobs are their dedication and work ethic. They are not someone that their supervisor has to worry about looking after, but they might not thrive in high pressure situations.
