Fit and Expertise

I interviewed a potential soccer coach today.  It was an interesting experience.

The candidate had more coaching experience and knowledge of the game than anybody who had come through North Central's doors, probably ever.

But expertise isn't the only thing we need to be evaluating.

In fact, we were asked to place each candidate's "fit" with the North Central environment as first priority, and expertise to accomplish the goals of the program as the second priority.

I'll be interested to see how their decision for this particular candidate goes.  He, without a doubt, has the expertise required.  The fit is a little more risky though.  Not huge red flags, but no clear guarantees either.
