Most interview training fails for a pretty simple reason. It ends! 🛑 A workshop can teach good habits. But if nobody reinforces them when interviews actually happen, people drift back to instinct, shortcuts and whatever feels easiest. The answer isn’t more training. It’s a system that shows whether the behaviours are actually sticking. That means measuring things like question coverage, decision reasoning, feedback speed and interviewer habits over time. Today's post looks at what actually changes interviewer behaviour. #Hiring #TalentAcquisition #Interviewing #QualityOfHire

We invest millions in attracting talent, yet we often leave unprepared interviewers to make six-figure hiring decisions. This presents one of the biggest contradictions in the hiring process. The issue isn't that organisations don't care about interview quality; rather, they tend to view improving interviews as merely a training initiative. However, finance departments typically do not allocate funding for training unless it is associated with measurable business outcomes. In today's edition of The Debrief, we discuss how to build a business case for enhancing interview capabilities using the metrics that finance leaders prioritise. The conversation shifts dramatically when we stop framing the issue as merely interview training and start addressing it as a matter of commercial risk. #Hiring #TalentAcquisition #Leadership #QualityOfHire #LicenceToHire

Improving quality of hire doesn't start after the interviews. It starts before they're even scheduled. Candidates spend hours preparing for interviews. ⏰ But how many hiring managers spend even 30 minutes preparing to assess them? One of the biggest causes of inconsistent hiring isn't the candidate pool. It's starting interviews before everyone is aligned on what "good" actually looks like. You see it all the time: • Interviewers assess the same thing without realising it. • Feedback is based on opinions instead of evidence. • Hiring panels disagree because everyone had a different picture of success from the start. By then, the damage is already done. 📩 Subscribe to 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗯𝘆 𝗘𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 for practical guidance based on real-world experience, not guesswork. #Hiring #TalentAcquisition #Interviewing #QualityOfHire

A failed probation isn’t just a people problem. It’s feedback on the hiring process that came before it. The problem is, most organisations don’t connect the outcome back to the interview evidence, so the same uncertainty gets repeated in the next process. Better quality of hire starts with closing that loop. #Hiring #TalentAcquisition #QualityOfHire #Interviewing
