The Manager’s Hot Seat presents a scenario involving Robert Gedaliah, and Paul Munez in the interview selection process. Robert had previously interviewed fifteen candidates, and narrowed the selection down to two. In order to best analyze qualifications for the job, Robert selected Paul to sit in on the second interview for each candidate.
