Identifying job candidates who are creative and hiring them is one of the most easily implemented strategies for increasing organizational creativity. a. true b. false

This statement is False.

The process of identifying and discerning among candidates who offer creative skills is highly challenging. Evaluating creative skills is less scientific than when seeking functional and technical skills that are easier to recognize and benchmark against a defined set of standards and tangible expectations. Creative roles leave much more room for interpretation and assumption when drawing conclusions about a person's "breadth and depth" of creativity in relation to the needs and expectations for role or position in the organizations. Evaluating creative skills becomes an art form when observing, evaluating, and projecting how a person's portfolio of creativity and skills will enable success and the outcomes that will help the individual and company achieve success. This challenge extends when seeking ways to measure the level and degree of creativity being delivered and how to judge the value created for the company.
