Interview assessment

Articulate and well presented, Paul Sutherland is an excellent candidate for the post of Director of Software Engineering.

He wants to leave his present employer, a small computer company, because he feels that he is not using his knowledge to the full. He is looking for a more challenging position where his field of specialization can be exploited in a more stimulating environment. He realizes that our company is growing rapidly, and that he would be expected to contribute to its growth. He is familiar with our existing range of software and regularly reads our publications.

Although at present he lives in the south he says that he is willing to go wherever we decide to send him. He occasionally travels to various European countries for trade fairs and exhibitions and enjoys meeting people of different nationalities. At the moment he is attending a training course at the Goethe Institute in order to perfect his German.

Mr Sutherland is going away tomorrow for two weeks. I suggest that we contact him on his return to offer him a second interview.
