In our world we often talk about the interaction, communication, contact and mutual understanding. But as for computers and technologies, there's a lot of words about the quality of the product and nothing about how person interacts with the computer and how it is possible to make this interaction beneficial and successful. Usually we adjust to each other in the process of communication. So, if you will talk to the deaf, you will not use oral speech but of course, will use the sign language. Typically, these changes affect both partners of the communication. Interaction between computer and human differs very much. People spend enormous efforts in order to humanize the computer, for example, we could consider some special opportunities "to talk to a computer", such as voice control, but it's impossible to say that a common language have been already found: the computer can't take into account your psychological characteristics, your mood and change itself in accordance with your personality, adapt the speed of its operations to your thinking, change system messages to the most familiar to you vocabulary. What persons are more adaptive to the computer? What qualities the person should or might have. As we are talking about the adaptation and important qualities, I suppose that it is primarily intelligence. It is the main factor of the successful adaptation. Intellect is the guarantee that your employee will be able to understand and find the most effective solutions in unusual situations. It is rumored that the bear can be taught to dance. But are you looking for an employee who can only clumsily push the buttons without thinking about consequences. In the best case, a company with such staff is doomed to failure. Accuracy is becoming more and more important. It's a necessity. This requires from person working at the computer to be careful, be able to focus on objects for a long time, to track even small changes with them. For example, when you are working with databases, it is difficult not to drown in the stream of information and control desired information. However, besides these general requirements, you need to take into account the specific features of personality. For example, the temperament that characterizes the man's dynamic. It is excellent if the man and the software are similar on these qualities, they become the parts of smoothly functioning mechanism. In such case, their work can be compared with the game of ping-pong. They carefully and methodically do their job, without extra sighs, screams and hassles. Surely you have met with people who need ample time for thinking and reflection. They feel themselves uncomfortable in situations that require making decisions quickly, performing multiple operations in a short period of time. In such situation, they look like people who are always trying to catch the departed train. Another type is complete opposite. They are impulsive; they just need to make life rotating around the world. Sure, you met the person, who works on the computer, and when he is waiting until computer executes the command, he is impatiently tapping by his fingers on the keyboard, and sometimes even repeats the same command 10 times, trying every possible way to expedite its work. For them, the speed of technology is one of the decisive factors, which can save them from negative emotions and mistakes. There is no software that can adjust to human character. Perhaps it is the task of the future of information technologies development. Meanwhile, a man has to adapt to the computer. And, please, do not forget that you shouldn't be excluded from communication with people. Only by using combination of these types of interaction success can be achieved.

Seems like a pretty good article, but lengthy and admittedly I didn't read it all. Honestly, I still think good old fashioned interviews are the best way to go. I look at my place of employment and we have several different departments. One hires solely on work experience, but my department combines experience, what you know, etc. My department has a far better track record with its employees. We have a lot younger group, but we are more experienced in the latest technology and to be quite frank, we're more inclined to stick around. Most of these older guys looking for new jobs have been to several places already. They are going to where the grass looks greener. There's nothing wrong with that necessarily, but if you want a long-term employee, you might be willing to sacrifice a little training time to get a better and longer-term employee in the long run. I think the same applies online. You can't really just look at a resume and get a good impression of who they are. Tons of people look good on paper but suck to work with. Don't just look at work experience, you might find it is worth its time to help someone develop their skills. Granted, they have to have shown some form of desire to learn. For example, i'm not going to pick up an indian content writer and expect him to learn how to do web development. But a novice web developer might be easier to work with than a far more experienced one.
Always employees that are passionate about their work. Take pride in what they do. If they seem ambivalent they will suck.
Past employment and references are a must! I can't stress doing homework enough before hiring someone.
For people in the art and design field, the strength of your art portfolio is the deciding factor. It happened to me twice for two different jobs. I completely screwed up the interviews and couldn't even remember the names of the company when they asked me, but when they saw my portfolio.....boom..."you're hired!" Pretty cool! I got a lot of offers just based off my big black portfolio. It's like they didn't even care about my history. Although these weren't huge corporate jobs, they were fairly large companies. A job at a huge company would indeed require decent references I think although getting references isn't that big of a deal anymore since most people just get hooked up with their friends or family posing as references.
In DP forum very few people come to read any article more than 15o words. Most people have lost stamina.
It depends on the type of job of course, but for the most part I like to organize the interview so that it puts the person in the working environment immediately. In other words, good resume and references may help bring good candidates, but at the end of the day if that person is not able to deliver, it will hurt everyone. So create tests to see what they are capable of and how they would address your specific business needs. Sometimes even if the skill set is not up to par, but you see a determined candidate with correct attitude and passion, it is worth taking them on board. However I would stay away from people with worker mentality, and aim for people with ownership mentality. As far as accuracy goes... I would disagree here. Don't expect a talented programmer to write completely free bug code. In fact flexibility and maintainability in the code are far more important to your development cycle than writing perfect 0 bugs code. What you need is to plan and budget a rigorous QA cycle to weed out the bugs before switching to production. Best of luck!
I think enthusiasm in work is very important.When choosing a man,you should consider whether he likes this kind of job or just want a job to make a living.If he likes,he may regard his work as his career.Or only work mechanically.
There are a lot of people who prefere use of interview. But another question is to what features pay attention? It is normal to sacrifice a little training time to new employee. But how to be sure that he worse it?
Recommendation, ratings and past employment record can definitely help you to decide which provider to hire. You can also hire a number of people and put them under probation and observation, then select the best.
I love using websites like guru.com and elance.com . I use them all the time for hiring web designers, web developers, article writers, etc. They have an awesome rating/feedback system and you can escrow all payments securely.
you have to see that wht is his qualification and find resume and what is the passion about work and hobbies of employ.
