Hiring Interviews Have Lost Their Accuracy — A Warning

Yes, job interviews have been a tradition for well over a century. But we now live in a world where many new developments threaten the accuracy of interviews by transforming them into more like a version of liar’s poker. For example, candidates can now easily identify their likely interview questions and even the appropriate answers in advance, using the Internet.

As a result, interview assessments are now often over prepared to the point that they are tainted, and they don’t accurately predict on-the-job success.
