That strategy pretty much guarantees that you will eliminate both argumentative dicks and A-players. Good luck with that.

- ctide 15y agoPerhaps. But I'd much rather pass on someone who might have been exceptional than hire someone who has already proven themselves to be a bit of an asshole.
- pbz 15y agoOr someone who's willing to call out your bullshit.
- Gnolfo 15y agoIf they think a question that gets at "What are your main priorities in looking for new employment?" is bullshit, I hope they do walk out of the interview so I don't waste anymore time on them.
- jordhy 15y agoAgreed, but this is also a shame. So many exceptional people don't have a chance to get hired because we're fitting the process towards the median of the distribution. Isn't there a system to recruit and develop truly great people?
- dkl 15y agoI disagree. The only people that would pull this trick (answering the question with a question) have a lack of judgement and social skills. Having said that, I'm against gimmicks in interviews.
- jaimzob 15y agoAugmentative dicks always think they are A-players. That's very rarely the case, but they'll never rise far enough to find that out.
