The key to avoiding hiring groupthink

Some great strategic recruiting advice is contained in this HBR article. "First, make it clear to interviewers that they should not share their interview experiences with each other before the final group huddle."

Good read and useful giving the amount of candidates we are currently speaking to

Groupthink brings up much better results than a single interviewer provided that a robust structured (corporate) hiring process is followed and led by an objective orchestrator.

We are all prone to Groupthink when interviewing and hiring. Some good advice to make sure all interviewers’ opinions are taken into account. https://lnkd.in/giM8gyC

Having been part of quite a few "interview loops" the strategy laid out here is a good. I particularly liked this quote as it drives the need for all voices to be heard outside of the group discussion.... "Most senior executives I’ve worked with have believed they are mature enough to listen to everyone and not be negatively influenced by each other. I don’t doubt their sincerity in this. I have, however, not seen any evidence suggesting that executives are immune to being influenced by a group."

Using this approach will let candidates, who the most senior team members were championing to be moved to a second spot, and less outspoken members of a hiring committee speak up and convince the other members why they should pay more attention to another candidate. #candidate #hiring #attention https://lnkd.in/gw6bxfg

Diverse interview teams eliminate groupthink and allow for more informed hiring decisions. But in order to reap the benefits, analyze how implicit bias is also impacting hiring and work intentionally to change behavior. #TrellisConsulting #WeMaximizePeopleAndProfitability https://lnkd.in/eN5_wr5
