INTERVIEWS AREN'T EVALUATING THE RIGHT SKILLS: INSIGHTS FROM ANALYSING 1,311 INTERVIEW LOOPS
What is actually happening at interviews?
It's the most critical part of any assessment process yet it is also the one which we know least about, not least because we've never had the means to really study them at scale. That is why this latest research from Harvard Business Review is so significant - across 1300+ organisations, 50+_ organisations and tens of thousands of interviews, researchers using BrightHire proprietary data track what is actually happening in this crucial step of the process.
The insight reveals challenges to which we will in recruitment have an urgency in handling.
(a) the gap between what JDs communicate to candidates are the critical qualifications for positions vs. what's actually covered in interviews
(b) the effectiveness of interviews in the evaluation of skills
(c) the extent to which interviews are evaluating for AI skills
