Hiring an HR VP - Hi Liz, what should I look for when I’m hiring an HR VP? Look for someone smart and ethical who will tell you the truth when you don’t want to hear it. - OK, how do I test for that? Test for it? Have a conversation with them. - We use a lot of assessments, and I wondered if you had a favorite assessment for that characteristic. Assessments are awful and have nothing to do with recruiting in 2024. Any HR VP canddate who agrees to take a test is the wrong person. You’re looking for a trusted advisor, not an underling.

Assessments never work for me. They are too generalized and not based in reality for a neurodivergent individual...

In the recruitment process, Assessments are just tools that contribute. But, meaningful conversations are significant to reveal the true person he/she is. 📌

Liz, I am hiring for an assistant in my department. I can pretty much gauge a candidate's functional ability with few work related questions but what are other(great!) questions to ask to know the person in better way?

I like the 3rd line look for someone... Because I connect with it but it doesn't worth it in Nepali culture..Most of us love to do sugercode rather than telling the truth...

Thanks for posting
