Health Service Management Recruitment & Selection

Memorandum

To: Jesus, Son of Joseph, Carpenter’s Shop, Nazareth

From: Jordan Recruitment Consultants, Jerusalem

It is our opinion that the 12 men you have picked to manage your new organisation lack the background, educational and vocational aptitude for the type of enterprise you are undertaking. They do not have the team concept.

Simon Peter is emotionally unstable and given to fits of temper, while Andrew has no qualities of leadership.

The two brothers, James and John, place personal interest above company loyalty.

Thomas demonstrates a questioning attitude that would tend to undermine morale.

We feel it our duty to tell you that Matthew has been blacklisted by the Greater Jerusalem Better Business Bureau.

James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus have radical leanings, and both registered high on the manic-depressive scale.

One of the candidates, however, shows great potential. He is a man of ability and resourcefulness, has a keen business mind and contacts in high places. He is highly motivated and ambitious.

We recommend Judas Iscariot as your controller and right-hand man.

We wish you every success in your new venture.
