Fed up with companies asking irrelevant interview questions, Ken is dropping some truth bombs about interviews. He challenges the status quo and reveals that years of experience are about as useful as a paper umbrella in a hurricane when it comes to predicting performance. With nearly nine out of 10 new hires crashing and burning due to issues unrelated to their tenure, like motivation and emotional intelligence, Ken pulls no punches in calling out the obsession with irrelevant metrics. He shreds the myth that past experience is a golden ticket to success, emphasizing that it's not about what you did in your past job. Instead, companies should interview for experience within the context of the company's culture, rather than experience alone. In this fiery rant, Ken challenges companies to ditch the outdated interview questions and replace them with structured behavioral questions.
But don't worry, Ken has more than just a rant to share; he reveals common mistakes and some primetime solutions you can implement now. It's time to get real about hiring and stop scaring off potential rock stars with your archaic criteria.
Hiring matters — don't mess it up!
