The secret to great hires? Check ‘Give a Shit Meter’

I present you my “Give a shit” meter

Some time ago, I’ve created a visual concept for a “Give a shit meter” that could help me evaluate candidate enthusiasm and dedication. The image shows a meter-style visualization that could help measure different levels of engagement and commitment.

Here’s how I use this concept in practice:

Low Level (0-3):
Shows up late
Minimal preparation
No follow-up
Only asks about salary/benefits

Medium Level (4-7):
On time
Basic company research
Standard questions
Some initiative

High Level (8-10):
Early/punctual
Deep company research
Proactive ideas
Enthusiastic follow-up
Shows genuine interest
