HR Review of Candidates 對候選人的評價

As part of our series on job interviews, in this Business English Pod episode we'll be taking a closer look at the process from the HR perspective. Specifically, we'll be studying the language of reaching a decision about whom to hire. 在本集的商務英語播客中，我們將進一步深入探討人事部對應聘的候選者的錄用可能進行的分析，這本身也是求職面試的一部分。本集無門尤其要學習的是關于討論決定雇傭誰的語言技巧。

A Brazilian business unit of fast moving consumer goods company Fun Beverages has recently interviewed several people for an HR manager position. Now the regional HR director, Ted, and the business unit general manager, George, are meeting to discuss the short-listed, or final, candidates. 一家名為“樂飲”的巴西快速消費品公司的業務單位最近對一些應聘人事經理的候選人進行了面試。現在區域經理泰德和業務單位的總經理喬治正在討論這幾個通過了初審的終極候選人。

As you listen, pay attention to the language they use to compare the two interviewees and to decide which one is the best fit. In addition, we'll study how they support a candidate, emphasize priorities, express reservations (or second thoughts), and suggest action. 在聽的同時，請注意對兩位應試者的語言進行比較，并揣度一下誰會被錄用。并且，我們要學習怎樣支持候選人、強調優先權、保留意見和提出建議。
