This is going to mean considering their past work (both legal & illegal if the skill can be tranferable), what they like & dislike, what physical & mental impairments need to be considered, how well they work with co-worker, whether or not they respect authority, what vocational talents they have or have the talent to learn & teaching them application & interview skills.
