It describes a scenario where Aliya, the VP of sales, needs to hire a new marketing director and has to choose between two candidates - Molly, who currently works on Aliya's team, and Ed, a rising star from another division.

    Executive summary:

    Aliya is the VP of sales for Becker Birnbaum International (BBI). She is looking to hiring a

    marketing director to support her divisions portfolio of 34 products. After working HR Aliyah

    find out two possible candidates; Molly or Ed. Molly is a brand manager on Aliya team in the

    cleaning division one the other hand Ed is a rising star from BBI’s beauty division. They both are

    qualified for this position, but Aliya can choose just one. To make decision she must decide

    whether the ALGORITHM or GUT.

    Question: Should Aliya hire Molly or Ed?

    Answer:

    Based on my opinion Aliya should hire Molly because Aliya know best who is fit for the

    position and should trust her gut.

    Aliya had already work closely with Molly and know her strength and weakness. Aliya intended

    to have Molly as her choice, she could specify talent, speed, and readiness to work the qualities

    required for the position. Besides Aliya felt the best about Molly’s interview and her responses to

    question rather than Ed.

    The algorithm assists human resource managers in evaluating resumes and identify the applicants

    that are most qualified for the position, but I believe that it is best applied as a complement to,

    not a substitution for, human judgment. Algorithm is not yet reliable for BBI’s because this
    system is new they have used it only three promotion decisions. BBI’s track record of three

    decision isn’t enough, in my opinion, to demonstrate the system’s reliability. Aliya want to more

    clarity on the system methodology. She needs to know not just which candidate the algorithm is

    recommending but on basis. But Christine is not sharing much information about the system and

    its methodology.

    That’s why Aliyah should hire Molly.
