This bit describes the hiring process of the Huddersfield-Sheffield Giants searching for their new coach in 2000....
Quote The selection process consisted of three phases:
Stage One. We received 18 applications, 10 domestic and eight from Australia. All had initial interviews, either face to face or by telephone.
Stage Two. A shortlist of eight was drawn up.
Stage Three. The short-listed candidates completed the test and coaching scenario - with the exception of the two British candidates who ruled themselves out by refusing the test. All applicants commented that they had never taken part in such a rigorous selection process. Two of the Australians also dropped out at the same stage after falling behind both on the psychometric testing and the coaching scenario. The remaining British candidates were asked to replace five players in the existing squad with five new players within a budget of £180,000, while the Australians were allocated £280,000 for overseas players. This was where the winning candidate, the Australian Tony Smith, scored so decisively. Although he was at the time in the middle of a play-off series in Australia, he contacted the players he wanted to get a ballpark figure about what they would cost. He went on to describe their key strengths and weaknesses, and how they would fit in within our existing squad - all within 48 hours. We were really impressed!
Stage Four. We gave the remaining four candidates - three from Britain - a two-hour second interview. The questions for each interviewee were divided between those specifically relating to the analysis of the psychometric evaluation; and those covering technical issues. We obtained five technical questions from David Waite, the Australian recently appointed as international coaching coordinator to the Rugby Football League.
We faxed the answers to David who concluded that one candidate stood out above the rest. The same man had scored virtually perfect scores on five of the six psychometric indicators, with an excellent score on the sixth. No prizes for guessing who!
We now had a man who had the right personality profile, who could work creatively within budgets, who had proven technical knowledge and who interviewed well. I felt this more than vindicated our method.'"
