I find your "playful" system interesting.
Personally, when I interview I try to observe the physiognomy of the subject. I look for defects like weak chins or sloping brows.
An informal survey of social opinions is also useful. If the candidate asks "How old is your grandmother?", he's inquiring after your Freemason's lodge number, which is a reliable sign of a good fellow.
As you say, you should always keep the atmosphere light and informal. A snifter of brandy, for example, never goes wrong.
- cutemonster 6y agoWhy so negative? I wonder if you didn't like some of the other things in that job application process -- but that doesn't mean that this part, about asking "unexpected philosophical questions" would be bad. You'll meet the candidate anyway, right, for a walk, or over a lunch, and what are you going to talk about anyway, then. Might as well make that conversation a bit "deeper" so as to get more info about each other (goes both ways I suppose).
