Right. "There aren't any good candidates," they typically say. Actually, there are. But not if they go about it they way they do, and keep doing. It's like saying, "There aren't any fish." And then casting the net back into your toilet.
- cutemonster 6y agoI'm curious about how an interview process would work, if you got to design it? What elements would it include, and not include
- chiefalchemist 6y agoWell, it would be more conversational for starters. That is, it's _not_ about hiring but fit - for all parties involved. For example, "Tell us why we should hire you." The classic closing question. Fair enough. But then I get to ask, "Tell me why I should want to have a career here," should be fair game. It's not. I've sat through far too many (traditional) interviews where they have a "you need us more than we need you" mindset. Ironic, eh. That's a cultural red flag. Just one example, btw. Culture matters. And it comes out in how you hire. And that determines who you hire, who you retain, or more importantly don't retain.
