If I were a manager at a job and was presented with these two individuals for hire, I would hire Jaime because as a business owner you need to think of long term results and having someone who is consistent would be more productive and cost saving then hiring someone like Avery who has a high-performance ceiling.
A job that I feel Jamie would be a good candidate for hire would be as a delivery driver, due to their low potential and high consistency. This is because being a delivery driver requires consistency every day as deliveries must be made on time, but there are not many skills that are required for this job outside of the ability to drive and have strong time management. There wouldn’t be times where they needed to push their limit, but instead consistency would be more important.
A job that I feel would fit very well for Avery would be an on call emergency room nurse. One reason that I think this job would fit her is because they would be in high pressure situations that would be everchanging, and therefore, it would be important for them to have a high potential-ceiling, and as they would have lives in their hands, it is important that they are the best at what they do. Consistency would not be as important, as since they would be on call, they would not be working overly long hours.
