Inside our HBR Research: What 23K Interviews Reveal About Skills-Based Hiring
Interviews sit at the center of hiring decisions, but are they actually evaluating the skills that matter most for job success?
While interviews are a critical, powerful tool for quality hiring, an analysis of 23,000 interviews by BrightHire and Harvard Business Review found that they often fall short – A significant amount of required skills aren’t evaluated in depth, and emerging priorities like AI competency are rarely assessed at all.
The good news is there are things any TA team can do to close the gap between what we say we’re looking for and what we actually evaluate.
Watch the webinar on demand to hear Joseph Fuller, Professor of Management Practice at Harvard Business School and Co-Director of Managing the Future of Work Project, William Leeds, Head of Data Science at BrightHire and our host Ben Sesser, BrightHire’s Co-founder and CEO, discuss what the data really shows about interviews—and why it matters for quality of hire.
