Mladen has good points. No doubt. Its a difficult
topic for email with delayed responses, and its easy
to misspeak (type a word) and create misunderstanding.
In our situation, I wasn't looking for hot-shots
because we were given batch of candidates. I was
trying to distinguish between them in some efficient
and simple fashion. Practical ideas were needed.
Please, I did not say English skills, rather
communication skills. So, we did not hire candidates
that we could not discuss *any* topic. Yes, we had
candidates that were unable to respond to hello. Maybe
their mouths did not work, I don't know. I've lived
and worked around the world so I don't judge based on
English, for sure.
Thanks for feedback. Yes, this is way off topic, so
I'm done.
Regards,
Mike Thomas
