How to Design a Better Hiring Process

Many standard interview processes rely on outdated behavioural questions like “What are your greatest strengths and weaknesses?” to evaluate prospective hires.

For example, if you want to test their ability to prepare, let them know the questions you’ll ask beforehand. If you want to test their technical skills, give them a problem to solve in real-time. And if you want to see if they’ll be a good cultural fit, have them play an interactive game with your employees.
