The inane questions asked during an interview don’t signal to me “risk mitigation”, they say “this what everybody else does and nobody got fired for doing the status quo”. Having done close to a hundred interviews as an IC it definitely seems like we, as an industry, are looking for why not to hire a given person.
- shagie 3y agoIf you have one open position and 500 applicants, you're going to have to figure out a "why not to hire" the vast majority of the applicants. If that is done in a way that isn't quantifiable you're going to get a hiring discrimination lawsuit some of the time. Spending 30 minutes per applicant gives way too much time commitment for the people doing the interview and way too long "candidate applied" and "narrowed down to less than five people" such that the best candidates have found a new job weeks before you're at that point. This isn't the best way to hire people - its the least worst when factors of hiring bias, timeliness of process, and risk reduction enter into how hiring is to be done.
