Recruiting Future with Matt Alder - What's Next For Talent Acquisition, HR & Hiring?

Ep 732: Are Job Interviews Obsolete?


Listen Later

The job interview has been a part of the recruiting process for over 100 years, with Thomas Edison widely credited as the original architect of this central tenet of the recruiting process. But with so much change happening since then, are interviews still fit for purpose in their current format, and if they aren't, what should they be replaced with?


My guest this week is Sarah Lamontagne, founder of Montagne Motion Consulting. Sarah has worked in all aspects of recruiting and talent acquisition and, based on her experience, strongly believes that employees should be moving away from interviews and looking at other methods of assessment to bring the recruiting process up to date.


In the interview, we discuss:

  • The significant challenges in hiring at the moment
    • The origins of the job interview and why they are no longer fit for purpose
      • How is recruiting slow to evolve
        • What should replace interviews, and how do you enable candidates to demonstrate their skills at scale?
          • The role of technology
            • A new generation in the workforce who are driving change
              • What does the future look like?
