Solution 3 - Provide the candidates with an assignment by handing over any of the construction projects and ask them to complete it within the given timeframe. Gray must supervise their work and find out the skills as well as the lack of expertise of each candidate.
Advantages:-
- The candidates will be given a real-life situation that will help them to do projects in the future.
- The candidates will be able to understand the problems that were not covered in the training that was given.
- They will learn to complete the projects on time effectively.
Disadvantages:-
- It is risky to assign projects if candidates are not trustworthy.
- The way the candidates handle the projects in the future will be different from how they complete the assignment.
- The candidates may hurry up in completing the assignment and gain the trust of Gray. It is not possible to understand the skill of an individual with a single assignment.
