Are you still interviewing like it was 1989?
The future of work is changing: the days of people working at the same firm until they get a gold watch and retire with a big pension are over.
The world is competitive, and firms need to find, attract and hire the very best talent to thrive. It is time for organisations to take action and think about the skills they need and how to find them.
In the skills economy, discovering people’s hidden strengths, assessing their communication style, and what their potential derailers are, is key to making a great hire. But what is the best way to do this?
The classic Q&A style interview is limited. Even asking the right questions might not result in the information you need to make the right decision. Candidates don’t always know what their real strengths are, and the least competent are more likely to overestimate their abilities.
To make better quality hiring decisions, it’s important to get better quality information about people. There are some amazing digital tools available now such as psychometrics and smartphone games, that if incorporated in the right way, can greatly improve your chances of unearthing a hidden gem.
