How do you find good psych people? Showing my bias but it’s a genuine question. I remember in school all the psych and social psych folks being total jackoffs in blowoff classes.
How do you find people you can take seriously? Who don’t just quote psychology today and act like it’s insight? Like I know the field is professional and has skilled professionals - but how do you find them?
- Balgair 6y agoWell, first you put out a job ad. Then because the psych people are so numerous, you'll be inundated with resumes. Since you don't know what to really look for, you decide that an AI from some company will help out with that. So you use an AI to hire people to get rid of the AI, except in the case where you hire people to get rid of the AI, because you don't know how to hire those people. ;)
- beckingz 6y agoSo how do you find the right psych person to monitor the psych hiring AI?
- curiousllama 6y agoI actually built an AI to do that for you
- DocTomoe 6y agoYou don't hire right out of university, but middle-to-senior people who have established themselves in academia.
- aspaceman 6y agoThat makes sense - thank you.
- metrics314 6y agoFor hiring and assessment design look for people with at least Master degrees in Industrial Organizational psychology. PhD isn’t necessary because it’s an applied field and there aren’t many applied PhDs so work experience is more important. Most start out in public sector which is much more rigorous in their interviewing and defining roles than the private sector is. SDSU and SFSU have great programs in CA and their professors can connect you to their alumni networks. SIOP is the professional organization. IOPredict, Biddle, and RocketHire are some consulting firms.
