Recommendations based on our discussion
Using Emotional Intelligence to assess
Candidates

We find that most of the characteristics that
differentiate the outstanding performers are these
things that we call social and emotional
competencies
It’s not a fad, it’s not a trend.
EI is the result of a long history of analyzing social
intelligence ( otherwise known as
‘what makes people tick’ ).
