Career Tip #31: When looking to fill a position, there will never be a 100% perfect fit for the job, including personality, price range, skill set, experience level and educational background. Seeking an impossible ideal candidate will only delay your hiring process and cost more money in the long run as critical openings are left unfilled. Aim to find someone who has 80% of what you are looking for. A little on-the-job training and grooming can achieve that last 20% to create the optimal match.
