Avery or Jaime?

Being a business owner, faced with the decision between hiring Avery or Jaime, each having their own distinct performance output, it is crucial to weigh the pros and cons based on what I am looking for in an employee. If I had to pick one right now, I would likely lean towards hiring Avery, as I know that when it comes to being crunch-time, they will likely exceed all expectations and get the project/task done. Exceptionally high performance like this is a necessity when striving for innovative, problem-solving employees, and likely produces the same, of not better level of work than someone who is consistently “pretty good.” I need to be able to count on someone to give me all they’ve got to ensure deadlines are met, so if I can’t ask for you to work a little bit harder when it really matters, that does not sound like a good fit for my company’s needs. Despite being inconsistent, Avery’s bursts of high-performance potential are just what I am looking for to ensure we remain competitive in our market.

Best Jobs for Avery

Someone like Avery would best fit a research and development role, or something creative, like marketing, where breakthrough ideas are required. Avery could consider contract or freelance work, where they are only required to work on specific projects, allowing them to maximize those bursts of high potential, and give every project their all.

Best Jobs for Jaime

For someone like Jaime, with their consistent daily performance, roles that require stability, reliability, and routine execution would be better suited. Perhaps something in administration, or customer service, even quality assurance, but a role that allows Jaime’s dependability to shine. Jaime would ensure smooth operation and customer satisfaction through reliable, consistent work.

Final Thoughts

Ultimately, it would really depend on the role I was hiring for and understanding the unique strengths of each candidate and how they relate to the requirements of the job.
