Value Character Over First Impressions

Hiring decisions should focus on candidates' potential and character rather than solely on first impressions or traditional interview performance. The current interview process is flawed and outdated, often yielding inaccurate assessments of candidate abilities and suitability. Research suggests that traditional ranking methods during interviews are highly ineffective, achieving notable accuracy in only a small percentage of cases. This lag behind modern scientific approaches highlights the necessity for change, benefiting both interviewers and candidates. Enhancing the interview process could provide candidates a fair opportunity to demonstrate their true capabilities, particularly as future job openings may arise post-crisis.
