The hiring managers, at the “scrappiest” “entrepreneurial” “startup mentality” big companies don’t have the ability to find all-star candidates. And it makes sense in terms of efficiency, not a big deal/real problem to solve. Not everything needs to be run like a startup imo.
Yes. It’s almost designed for churn:
*create a huge painful barrier to get into a company w/ the most vital factor to happiness intro’d at very end (the manager)
*no incentive to leave before 12 mo mark.
*huge benefit to “trade up” once you establish yourself.
Studies show the best way to hire is:
- Select for intelligence and conscientiousness
- Multiple rounds of structured interviews with rubrics for scoring
- Skill tests that simulate on the job duties as accurately as possible
Yet we're addicted to informal behavioral interviews
