In the early 20th century, a British mathematician devised "The Puzzle of the Nine Points." The object of the puzzle is to connect nine points in a three-by-three grid without lifting pen from paper, using just four straight lines. The solution to this puzzle gave rise to the phrase "think outside the box" which has come to stand for creativity and unconventional thinking in business.
In the search for top talent, the need to think outside the box has become not only advisable but an absolute necessity. Hiring Managers must think creatively about how to fill difficult, multi-faceted roles in their organizations; recruiters must often take unconventional approaches to sourcing and attracting the best people and bilingual, globally minded candidates need to come up with innovative solutions to expand their careers.
