MARKETING HOW-TO CONTINUED ...
Additionally, “people who are hired basically all have average scores in a very small range. I would suspect 90% of hired candidates have between a 3.1 to 3.3 average rating.” This makes it “almost impossible to truly understand if there’s a correlation between interview performance and job performance.” So, what Bock’s study might really be saying is that “once people hit a certain, very high bar, it doesn’t matter whether someone performs above it or far above it,” McDowell clarifies. So, how do you make the most of your interviews? “Test skills, intelligence, and other factors,” McDowell advises. Some businesses take this a step further by instituting a test shift where their potential teammate works alongside the crew. Ultimately, interviewing is about finding a balance, and if all else fails, just remember that even Google gets the hiring blues.
“IF THE BREAKTHROUGH- MAKERS AT GOOGLE
STRUGGLE WITH HIRING JUST AS MUCH AS THE REST OF US, IS THERE REALLY ANY HOPE?”
