* Probing
2021-10-20 11:57:15 +00:00
** Get Specific
2021-10-20 11:58:29 +00:00
- Who? Why?
- Differential Exposure vs Expertise?
- Participant vs Owner/Leader?
- Involved at Start vs End?
Digging, if people don't like to dig, that's a good indicator of not
showing the complete truth.

* Predict on the job Succes
** Applying our Interview Techniques
How to get evidence?

*** Do not ask
"Are you good at X? Oh great."
or
"I see you you've got 4 years of xp using X, so you're good. Yes?"
2021-10-20 12:07:59 +00:00
*** Instead
- Value your expertise on this skill.
- How X works?
- Why did you choose to use X?
.
*** Question beyond behavorial
Tell me about a time...
2021-10-20 12:09:42 +00:00
** Using Situational Technique to learn Skills
*** the key
Get them to demonstrate their skill or knowledge for you.
Not talk about it, but show you!

* Biases
** Do's and Don'ts
2021-10-20 12:18:59 +00:00
** Some Biases Show up Well before Interview
- profile bias (consulting, military, gaps in employement)
- job descriptions
*** Typical
- first impression
2021-10-20 12:20:34 +00:00
- Halo effect (find it friendly)
- Contrast error (totally different from the guy you fired)
- Cultural unfamiliarity (eye contact in US, we vs I)
2021-10-20 12:18:59 +00:00
- Gender bias
2021-10-20 12:23:16 +00:00
.
** Overcoming bias
*** How to overcome bias?
1. don't make assumptions
2. focus on evidence gathering not gut feel
3. try to screen people in, not out
4. compare this candidate to your hiring standard, not other candidates
5. be aware of cultural issues - team confidence, open disagreement/respect
2021-10-20 12:25:32 +00:00
.
** Best practice for keeping bias at bay
*** out of your process
1. phone screens
2. structured, multiple interview process with diversity
3. weight problem solving/situational question more heavily
4. defined attributes (not "culture" fit)
5. trained interviewers and interviewing tools/guides
2021-10-20 12:27:44 +00:00
