How to Tie Your Core Values to Interview with Rick Girard of Stride Search Inc.


Listen Later

Two people sit down in an interview. What happens next??? What happens is that, well, we have no idea what happens. 

But the data suggests that a decision is made on behalf of the interviewer in the first 7 minutes of the conversation. The remainder of the time is used to confirm the decision. 

There is no way that a person can extract enough evidence to support making a correct decision without bias or personal motives in an unstructured process. 

A perfect breeding ground for Murphy’s law- Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong

How well a person aligns with the company’s values, vision & purpose is the only way to ensure the success of the person you hire.

Today we discuss:

  • Why tying values to interview questions is the only way to eliminate bias
  • How to build an  interview question for a company value
