Hi! I am building a product that helps companies to hire entry-level applicants. What was your biggest pain point when you were hiring someone for an entry-level position?
If you don't like the idea of hiring someone without prior work experience, what is the biggest reason behind it?

Yes, If they have the potential to learn quickly

@jerryton_surya Agreed! I think potential matters the most!
@jerryton_surya @shawn_park_f12 How would you measure candidate's "potential"?
@shawn_park_f12 @jerryton_surya Wow, I never thought about asking candidates about their failures. That could be a great way to find out how they learn from their failures
@shawn_park_f12 @sherzod_khoshimov By knowing their past achievements and failures
Only if the candidate is quick learner and potential
@sherzod_khoshimov From CV I don't think so. My expectation would be on how he/she approaches/interacts when a problem is given to them.
@sridevi_m is there a way you can tell if a candidate has a potential from their CV or interview questions?

@jason_andries1 How can you tell if someone is (and will stay) motivated?
