> If you want to see how a person handles stress, give them a situation that is stressful in a way it'd be on the job Mainly because you're paying someone to do a job, not to interview. I've interviewed a lot of people, and sometimes interviewing just sucks for reasons that have nothing to do with the interview. For example, say you're homeless, and you get your first interview in quite a while. Landing the job means housing for you. The pressure to perform is enormous, and it's not something you can prepare for. I was homeless for a bit, and in that situation. I don't expect to get a job for which I'm not qualified, but it'd be nice if an interview process allows me to show I can meet the requirements of the position, regardless of the circumstances of my life situation outside of work. I like screening people in for the right reasons, and not screen them out for reasons that aren't really all that important. And when you have a hard time getting any qualified applicants, can you really afford to false negatives?
