We do not recommend hiring solely on communication style, but if you are in a industry that deals with SOX, HIPPA or some other draconian paperwork, you would be wise to hire a High C style with a strong Attention to Detail aptitude. These areas can all be accurately and objectively measured before hiring them.

I bring this up since one person at our company is meeting with his insurance agent for a 3rd time in a year (this time to straighten out the insurance on his sons’ automobile). The troubles have started since the agent hired an assistant who has an innate ability to jumble paperwork in the worst possible manner.

A bad hire has a ripple effect unlike any other in a company. This example is a microcosm of a large principle.
