Some straight talk: So why did I reject the two year College topper

Tweet

Today I had to take some interviews for a few positions. The candidates did had basic knowledge of their subject but varied in how they were able to explain things, overall communication and some other fine points (which I obviously can't reveal here). I recommended some and did not recommend others. Among those I rejected was a person who was good at communication and was smart as well but lacked on certain finer technical aspects. What I felt a bit bad was that he had been a college topper for two years, apart from a good football player. Yet, later I also feel that I had to act impartial and focus on the core objectives- which could look heartless at times. To add to it, doesn't Bhagwad Gita too tells us-do your duty, and don't think mindlessly over the fruits. What do you say?
