Due Diligence: Search for the Perfect Fit

The interviews are under way at Fancy Valley and Four Seasons!

Prue, Justin, and Sue are conducting the interviews with Penny Pincher, Cashmere Calculators, and Balance Beamington.

Balance Beamington was up first, as he was ready for any questions they had for him. Balance used to work in the finance department at many car dealerships in his career.

Prue asked many questions about his problem-solving skills and how he handled being under pressure. His responses were as perfect as his beaming smile!

Cashmere Calculator was next and she carried herself like royalty. On paper, she sounded like the perfect candidate for the position, but as the interview progressed, her answers were very self-centered and not so humbling.

Everyone agreed she was not going to be the right fit after her interview.

The final interviewee was Penny Pincher. She seemed shy, and it made them all worry she may not be up for the challenge.

They continued the interview, asking her questions ranging from her previous experiences to how she works independently and in a team.

Sue asked Penny, “What makes you stand out from the other candidates?”

Penny smiled timidly and responded, “I may not be as outgoing or charming, but I believe my experiences in the tax industry and my finance degree can show that I am passionate about what I do.

“I am capable of working with sensitive information and strive to maintain set standards. I would love to help your company grow to its full potential without depleting the money you all have worked so hard for.”

With the interviews coming to an end, it was time to debrief. Everyone agreed that Cashmere may be too “high-end” for the company and ultimately had to decide between Balance and Penny.

Before offering the job, Duey suggests Sue make a call to Commercial Investigations LLC to see how they can help narrow the search down.

“Have you tried using our Cyber Investigation Eagle View?” The CI employee asked Sue.

“What is that and how does it work?”

“Eagle View provides a social media scan which searches through posts made on a person’s social media accounts and flags posts based on set categories related to things such as violence, drugs, politics, and hate speech, among a few others.

It is a helpful tool to see what a person may be like in their personal life and gives the employer an idea of who they are actually looking into hiring.”

“Sign us up!” Sue responded gleefully.

“This will be a great way for us to tell if these candidates are who they seem to be, or if they are just all talk. Balance and Penny seem great on paper, and they really impressed during their interviews, but is it just a show?” Duey pondered.

What will Cyber Investigation Eagle View show for Balance and Penny?

Who will Fancy Valley choose for the finance position?
