It is common to say, “Trust your gut!” when it comes to hiring. A hiring manager’s intuition can often be a make-or-break factor in determining a candidate’s fit. However, gut instinct isn’t always reliable, and it’s rarely supported by data. Instead of relying on such a flawed measure, hiring teams need to screen for candidate fit in a way that can be analyzed and compared, a way that minimizes bias as much as possible. One way to do this is to bring data into the equation: Assess fit by aligning the candidate’s traits and soft skills with those linked to successful behaviors on the job.
But how, exactly, can hiring teams determine candidate fit in a data-driven way?
