how a HR can judge the inherent qualities in a person while recruiting

Few decisions are taken on intuitions, that a person with inherent qualities will performe and he is an addition to any organisation. Experienced guys are available in the market any time, but a person with inherent qualities is always rare. And even it can be tricky for the recuriter if that person does't perform well.   

 a candidate strong on inherent values and competencies could suit the organisation culture and longterm objectives in a holistic manner being exemplary compared to a candidate with mere professional experience but weak on values and potentials. the values based candidate could be put on a fast track on a fast learning curve and promoted subsequently for independent responsibility and this could be a good retention strategy too coupled with the sense of self-fulfillment the person would experience in the organisation meeting his personal career goals too in congruence.

it would be rather rare to get a wholesome values based candidate with potential competencies and such persons should find special attention in the recruitment process creating a position and strategy for them if need be especially when we are all caught in scenarios of talent crunch not missing this valued opportunity to benefit the organisation paying the premium costs or being patient till the person picks up the threads of the assignment sooner although not readymade immediately.

great successful organisations are built on values apart from professional experience and qualifications for good corporate governance and corporate citizenship to become a brand employer.

It is really subjective. Depends on individual HM's ideal characteristics are usually tied back to company culture, team dynamics/structure etc.

Etc., Some HM prefer aggressiveness to drive improvement, initative. Some prefer non-aggressiveness for longer service length.

Inherent means qualities or attributes of a person present in him naturally or tranferred to him through genes.

A background check in terms of his family, particularly about his patriarchial side would reveal a lot about the person in front of you. The status of his father would certainly throw light on the progeny. Work place, position in the work place and the number of years in the work place would all lead to making near accurate reading of the person being assessed!!

I would do that during the interview to understand the inherent qualities in the candidate!! Thanks for the referral gargi :)

No programmed software may find the 'inherent qualities' in a person, nor this may be done in 15-20 minutes interview. But, we are to try this. 

Apart from credentials check, we may go to the background of the person and make him/her  feel  easy 2talk about himself/herself. It is important to look for his / her hard and soft skills equally.

When we are talking about inherent qualities, we are trying to refer it to the performance a candidate would be expected to show once hired in a company. This performance is highly influenced and is the result of values and competencies once carry in himself. To assess this we can hire a psychologist to assist an HR, for the interview session who can critically examine the candidate's mind set. or, infact an HR can himself use the psychometric analysis tools, can use checklist containing questions about his past experiences, family background and his beliefs, etc.

To grow a business, only some honest & commited people take a lead. To recruit a person, these quality should be prefered. Knowledge & experience related to jobs goes secondy, but also important.

A recruiter usualy look for employees when they need certain jobs to be done which require certain skill level. So when they talk to you they keep those objectives in mind and might even discuss it with you whether you can do it. This is how jobs are given once you decide on whether you can do what is expected of you.

I THINK HR WILL USE ITS INTUTION FOR TAKING SUCH DECISIONS. INTERACTING WITH PERSON SEEING UP THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARDS PERSONAL LIFE, JOB, & OTHER THINGS ASKING DEPLOMATICALLY CAN HELP TO JUDGE THE QUALITIES HE SHE CAN POSSESS.
