But there is a chance you could skip some important judgement by doing blind auditions, for example if someone has sociopathic behaviors that will damage the orchestra team in the long run and that personality trait may have been clear in a face-to-face interview but not so much in a blind one.
- devteambravo 7y agoThat is very interesting. Art being compared to business. Should we censor talent to benefit the whole? This isn't a dev team with production deadlines... And yet, where do we draw the line? The artists know.
- skookumchuck 7y agoWhy do "we" need to draw a line? I couldn't care less who they hire.
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoIf you're a working artist then art is business. Most (all?) working artists make compromises in their art for business reasons IME. Professional artists IME (fine art, photography, ceramics) very much operate with production deadlines.
- necovek 7y agoWhich you can establish by having a non-musical person (commonly HR person in tech) have an independent screening 1st phase interview. In theory, such a person should be better suited to such evaluation too: it's not uncommon to have psychology majors in HR departments, for instance. And finally, once you find someone is detrimenal to the team (the orchestra), you can still fire them (I know it might be harder).
- wtdata 7y agoIf you have a non musical person doing a first - non-blind - screening, than the outcome of the all process becomes non-blind anyway.
- replyguy912 7y agoMust be pretty cool to able to identify sociopaths just by "lookin' them in the eye!" The more I do interviews and get assigned the "culture & fit" asessment role, the more depressed I get. It's really just code for the bias "looks and acts like me => good"
