Harvard Business Review’s Post

Some good stuff in this one. How often do we put blinders on with confirmation bias and selective seeing? At least one big consulting firm is using algorithms to predict successful hires by analyzing hires that have been successful in the past. While there's an argument that this excludes many promising candidates, it's hard to debate its value as a risk management strategy. GenAI can make the data and analysis more tractable for less technical front-line recruiters as well, pushing value down the chain.

Practical tips for getting the most out of an interview. Should resonate for those who have hired someone who was great in an interview, but didn't translate to effectiveness on the job. The best person for the job using these techniques may surprise you. #hiringmanagers #hiringtalent #interviewing #interviewprep #hiringthebest

Love this article. How many of us have been guilting of hiring under the "Halo" effect, only to find the halo rusted quick!? Rather this article suggests "Fine-tune your vision to pinpoint the real cues that matter for performance. Instead of “going with your gut,” use analytics to hone in on the right type of candidate. Take all your past data on who has succeeded and failed in the role (or similar roles, if this is a new position) and analyze each person’s characteristics in a regression." Happy Hiring my HR friends! #forwardtogether #pcty #hrcommunity

Some good ideas here for those in the midst of interviewing potential job candidates!

Excellent article highlighting the dangers of first impressions during an interview and how to avoid them.

Great article. When hiring, I look for three things that I picked up from business guru Patrick Lencioni. 1. Smart - while intelligence is a given, how does the candidate do working under pressure? Do they utilize their precious time wisely? 2. Hungry - past performance will predict future behavior, however a candidate should not rest on their laurels. It is important to demonstrate a continual desire to be successful, to do your best. 3. Humble - I have met more than my share of narcissists. If you are truly great at something it is not necessary to do anything else beyond pointing to your receipts (your track record).

600+ reps in the interviewer seat taught me one crucial thing: Put every candidate through hypotheticals where they must role-play a typical interaction on the job AND receive constructive feedback from you (the interviewer) on how they did and what they could do to improve. I promise you, this will give you all the information you need about what actually working with this candidate could be like. #interviewing #bias #hiring

Interesting and insightful article for interviews or interviewers and the importance of first impressions.

💡💬 Dread those "we need to talk" moments? Turns out, the approach is everything, according to Fractl research. Swap combat boots for conversation starters: 👉 Start with "What's up?" 👉 Move to "What's so?" 👉 Explore "What's possible?" 👉 Hit "Let's Go"! A framework that turns dreaded dialogues into constructive chats. #managementtips #effectivecommunication #leadershipdevelopment

A few days ago, Matt Guiver 🌎 (thank you Matt) mentioned the concept of Radical Candour to me, and it’s been on my mind ever since. Honest, empathetic communication can be truly impactful.
