My students are going through job interviews & folks are still being asked dumb brainteaser questions. Stop! 🚩Google found brainteasers were in no way predictive of job performance 🚩Worse: "Narcissism & sadism explained the likelihood of using brainteasers in an interview.” 1/

Coming back to job candidates, should you just let them cheat and get away with it? Certainly not. Let the candidates cheat, detect the cheating after-the-fact and then have a zero-tolerance policy for cheating: teapaw.org/NGKabra/status/1364471…

Replying to @NGKabra
Of course, you shouldn't just ignore cheating. Instead of preventing cheating (which is impossible), allow the candidate to cheat, and detect instances of cheating after the fact (surprisingly easy). Then, reject instantly. There should be zero tolerance for cheating.

The only way to have 0% cheating by candidates in online job tests is to not have any candidates at all 🙄 The harder you try to prevent cheating by candidates the more it is likely that you're rejecting good candidates for harmless behavior Do a cost/benefit analysis please

This advice also works when you want a promotion.

DISABLING WEB SEARCHES AND WINDOW SWITCHES DURING AN ONLINE TEST FOR JOB CANDIDATES IS SERIOUS BECAUSE NOBODY, INCLUDING YOUR START EMPLOYEES, CAN PROGRAM WITHOUT USING AN IDE AND LOOKING UP DOCUMENTATION AND USING STACKOVERFLOW THESE DAYS AND A JOB IS NOTHING LIKE EXAMS IN COLL—

Heard something interesting from my cousin on hiring. He drives strategy/IR/M&A @ KPIT. When they go for hiring they spend time with college teachers & hire more aggressively if they find passionate teachers as they have found students of such teachers perform quite well.

Unstructured job interviews (where you have no set evaluation criteria) can often lead to worse hiring than no interviews at all. Part of this is that we are not good judges: candidates giving random "yes"/"no" answers are rated the same quality as ones where answers were real!

And don’t get me started on interviewing for “cultural fit”
Ethan Mollick (@emollick) profile pictureEthan Mollick
@emollick7 May 2022
Hiring for cultural fit just means hiring yourself. Interviewers judge fit by comparing candidates to themselves. The paper shows candidates at elite law, banking & consulting firms are "good fits" if they have similar hobbies, styles & college experiences as their interviewers.

And remember that puzzle questions are both useless and a sign of a bad, and possibly sadistic, interview.

Have you ever been asked a brainteaser in a job interview? That’s a big ⚠️ Research at Google found that brainteasers were in no way predictive of job performance. Worse, this paper finds that "narcissism & sadism explained the likelihood of using brainteasers in an interview.”

(A note on the last point: People often say that it is far more important to avoid a bad hire than to occasionally reject a good one. However, some people take this too far and without good reason. At some point the marginal benefit is so small that it’s not worth it.) /7

Change your culture to reward those who spot great hires, not penalize those who end up with an occasional poor performer. Emphasize the difference between good decisions and good outcomes. Sometimes a fully logical bet will result in a poor outcome. /6

Some interviewers love rejecting candidates. However, a data-based long-term review (which most companies don't do) often shows that these people don't really have a higher hit rate at picking good candidates compared to less picky interviewers. Remove them from the process /5
