Highlights a larger issue - the way we hire people is broken. Resumes and cover letters only give you enough info to know the person may or may not be qualified

Highlights a larger issue - the way we hire people is broken. Resumes and cover letters only give you enough info to know the person may or may not be qualified for the job. Are they a fit with culture at your company? Are they going to leave in a year to pursue their REAL passion?
- tptacek 17y agoThat's what interviews and references are for.
- antidaily 17y agoExcept I don't have time to interview 50 candidates.
- arebop 17y agoMaybe you could find a way to make time, perhaps by starting with a shorter initial phone screen. Interactive dialog has much better predictive power compared to resume+coverletter in my experience.
- iron_ball 17y agoAnd people constantly point out that even an interview is no predictor of job performance.
