Description

In this episode of Manager Lab we unpack the HBR article "Job Interviews Aren't Evaluating the Right Skills" and explain why interviews often miss critical, role-specific competencies—especially emerging areas like AI.


You'll get three practical tactics to improve hiring: audit and expand skill coverage, probe depth with structured follow-ups, and add skill-based assessments (simulations, work samples, case studies). Finish with a quick action plan: audit open roles, update interview guides, and gather feedback to build fairer, higher-performing hiring processes.
