Is there any reason why closely simulating the work environment should be the most efficient way to glean whether a candidate will perform well once hired?
- gcheong 5y agoI wouldn’t think it would be the most efficient but if you’re worried more about accepting a bad hire than rejecting a good one efficiency isn’t the primary metric.
- hansvm 5y agoKind of. Long, convoluted interview processes are expensive in the opportunity cost of not having the role filled and in the actual work that needs to happen to conduct the interviews. That gets weight against the (presumed large) cost of a bad hire, but hiring is expensive, and practices that slow it down across the board to reduce a few bad hires might not be worth it.
