lolz with one hammer i meant "M.B.A. students specialize in one discipline, such as marketing or operations. You may be getting someone who prefers one solution to all sorts of problems. There are advantages to specialization, but the company may need someone who is flexible enough to rotate through several departments."
 
What if the candidate is fulfilling all the needs but not the last one, how do you deal with it then?
