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:

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.

IT top four to hire one third less freshers in FY23 as mood sours

Absolutely! :)

'Googling' and ability to search online, in general.

Interesting data....need to checkout the original report.

Per this, Hyderabad and Bengaluru are significantly ahead of Pune and Mumbai in tech job creation.

India's tech industry added 4,50,000 jobs in FY22.

Hyderabad - 1,53,000 jobs
Bengaluru - 1,48,500 jobs
Mumbai - 54,000 jobs
Pune - 40,500 jobs
Chennai - 22,500 jobs

Delhi NCR & Tier 2 cities hired around 31,000 jobs. (Quess IT staffing report)

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!

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

And don’t get me started on interviewing for “cultural fit”

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

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

[Navin Kabra @NGKabra]

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

[Navin Kabra @NGKabra]

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
