Years ago, my boss taught me something important about choice.
We were recruiting for an open position at the office. The role was urgent and we needed to fill it ASAP. A contract depended on it. So, we hired a recruitment agency and the shortlisted candidates finally got to the interview stage.
The interview was a disappointment. The candidates barely made the cut and we were worried about the looming deadline for filling the position. That day, my boss said something that stuck.
"The reason we're struggling is because we think we have to choose from this pool of candidates. So, it's either we pick Candidate A or Candidate B. However, there's a third choice - Nobody."
We cancelled the recruitment, fired the recruitment company and designed our own custom process from scratch. We asked for an extension of the contract start date and the position was eventually filled by the right person.
Today, I wondered how many people settle for "good enough" or even outright crap, because they think there are no other options.
