(Second in a nine-part series about the concept of Efficiency vs. Effectiveness and some possible measures to help you determine whether the job you are hiring for is one or the other.)
Yesterday I talked about the “Efficiency vs. Effectiveness” framework.
The first question that must be asked of any requisition is whether it requires a focus on efficiency or effectiveness. These two metrics are often mutually exclusive: You can either get it fast or get it right, but you can rarely get both at the same time.
Efficiency is a measure of speed and cost. Efficiency says “Getting someone in here right away is more important than getting the right person later.” Effectiveness is a measure of quality and goodness. Effectiveness says the opposite: “Hiring the right person is more important than hiring someone right away.”
Tomorrow: An Overview of Efficiency vs. Effectiveness
this is a short simple and clear definition to my answer and yes this sight has been very useful
