By combining the art of interviewing with the science of psychometrics and understanding their interplay, one can better predict the performance of candidates in a given role. To achieve scalability and predictive accuracy, creating reliable case interviews and organizing Assessment Centers pose challenges. Employing a modern approach that includes interviewing, scoring, and information sharing among decision-makers and leveraging these methodologies increases the probability of selecting the right hire.
Having stringent assessments of candidates by conducting professional interviews and using validated tools and psychometric tests for selection should be the norm. So should bias awareness to empower diversity & inclusion.
Create Structure and Solid Processes
In any recruitment process, it is crucial to have clearly defined guidelines and norms for evaluation, documentation, candidate feedback, and maintaining bias-aware behavior. These measures are necessary to ensure the selection of the best-suited candidate.
