Ducks in a Row: Hiring, Google, and You
by Miki SaxonTwo facts
- Google hires a lot of people
- Google is very good at algorithms
So why not use the latter to solve the former?
It doesn’t work.
Google is known for hiring really smart people, so why not use brain teaser questions to identify them.
It doesn’t work.
Analytics can make a difference if your company is large enough.
AI may help, but its bias, the result of biased data sets, means a high cost in missed candidates.
It also means more time to hire and more money spent, because you will be chasing the same people as everyone else.
Like it or not, your staffing is dependent on the hiring skills of your managers.
There is no staffing gene; people aren’t born knowing how to hire anymore than they are born knowing how to manage.
It’s your responsibility to make sure they learn both.
