             Caselet     “You call this Selection Interview!”

                 uresh Kumar was production manager for Singer Industries Limited, a Noida based
                 electrical appliances company near Delhi. Suresh had to approve the hiring of new
             Ssupervisors in the plant. The HR manager performed the initial screening.
             On Friday afternoon, Suresh got a call from Anil Dhavan, Singer's HR Director. 'Suresh'
             Anil said, "I have just talked to a young engineering graduate from a regional engineering
             college who may be just who you're looking for to fill that supervisor job you asked me
             about. He has some good work experience in a multinational firm located in Pune, but at
             a  lower salary level. He wants to come over to Noida where his parents live." Suresh
             replied, "Well, Anilji, I would take care of the boy". Anil continued, "He is here right now
             in my office, I am sending him to you, if you are free." Suresh hesitated a moment before
             replying, "Great Sir, I am certainly busy today but I can't afford to displease you either. Sir,
             Please send him immediately."
             A moment later, Ranga Rao, the new applicant arrived at Suresh's office and introduced
             himself. "Come on in Rao", said Suresh. "I'll be right with you after I make a few urgent
             phone calls." Fifteen minutes later, Suresh finished the calls and began interviewing Rao.
             Suresh was  quite impressed. The merit certificates, the best suggestion award from previous
             multinational firm and Rao's quick responses revealed the candidate's potential. Meanwhile,
             Suresh's door opened and a supervisor yelled, "we have a small problem on line number
             5 and need your help."
