Interviewing is difficult. From both perspectives, the process often feels more like a Buzzfeed-style personality quiz than a high-impact event that defines careers and makes or breaks teams. However, much rests on these brief discussions, and interviewers rarely make the most of them. They can pass on excellent candidates because of misaligned priorities, overt generalizations, unrealistic expectations, and an unnecessarily stressful atmosphere. Alternatively, they can accept candidates that interview well or look good on paper but are not a good fit for the team. This session will help interviewers identify and correct common mistakes, which will bring the best out of every candidate and facilitate building strong teams.
