Standard-format job interviews are fundamentally flawed, and for all sorts of reasons. They fail employers who spend enormous amounts of time and money on screening processes that are notoriously unreliable in identifying the best workers. They fail job seekers who are compelled to endure dysfunctional recruitment meetings that overwhelmingly focus on a candidate’s weaknesses rather than allowing them to fully demonstrate their capabilities.
My version of the interview is very different. I actually prefer to call it a hiring meeting, in order to distance itself from all of the negative traits of job interviews. There are four key stages to familiarise yourself with, each of which are designed to counter every one of the problems that you get if you go down the usual interview route. In today’s Vocation Cast, I’m going to outline these stages as you learn how to prepare for the perfect hiring meeting.
