Please be sure to clear any use of a "cutting test" during the interview
process with your institution's legal department. If an interviewee should cut
themselves, the liability could be steep. If you have a clearly defined
minimum cutting speed/quality, a better solution would be to hire the best fit
for your lab, then, if they can't meet the minimum requirements, then it's
easy to let them go during the probationary period. That's what it's for.

Hi All,
I work at a Start-Up and I was our first hire. I have been practicing since
2011 when I got my certification. However, we are looking to expand, what would
you suggest our baseline technical competencies be for a position that focuses
exclusively on cutting and IHC. In an interview it is hard to access what a
person is capable of, would it be acceptable for me to have applicants performs
a cutting time test?
I am open to hiring new techs, but I want to make sure we are not hamstrung by
a great interviewer with a lacking technical skill set.
Thanks!
