SPOTTING THE RIGHT TALENT : Looking beyond degrees and certifications

The person who hired him knew him before. And he said it directly: the person I knew you to be before uP!, I would not have given you this job. It wasn't the resume that changed. The person changed. And the people at the top who make decisions about serious hires — the seasoned, experienced, real business people — they read that change in the first fifteen minutes. You cannot fake what you have become. Talent beyond degrees and certifications is visible to the right people — not through what someone says they can do, but through how they hold themselves, how they engage, how serious their presence communicates they are. Antano and Harini develop this quality of presence as an installed capability, not a surface behavior. When someone emerges from EIT work, the quality of their being is different — and the opportunities that reflect that difference arrive accordingly.
