On “The Way We Hire Is All Wrong”

Many studies have shown that recruiting processes are broken. For example, a 2012 study by consulting firm Leadership IQ showed that out of 20,000 new hires, 46% had failed within 18 months. That’s an incredibly high failure rate given the amount of effort involved! Working in Silicon Valley with many leading and cutting-edge companies needing quality talent to grow, we believe it’s time to disrupt this process!  That’s why we share this article.

Deborah Branscum’s Medium article, “The Way We Hire Is All Wrong”, tells the story of a 2-day hackathon as an innovative way for employers to observe prospective candidates in action, doing real work. Read about the writer’s experience and her conclusions now!

What do you think about the traditional recruiting process? What innovative suggestions do you have for disrupting the process?

Book Review | Rookie Smarts

rookie smartsRookie Smarts:  Why Learning Beats Knowing in the New Game of Work
By: Liz Wiseman

Head: (4 out of 5)
Heart: (3 out of 5)
Leadership Applicability: (4 out of 5)

The inexperienced are often viewed as lacking an advantage. But given the pace of change today, inexperience can be an advantage. Rookies might lack know-how and situational confidence that comes from experience but they are eager to close that knowledge gap and aren’t weighed down by obsolete best practices, thus free to explore new opportunities. From this standpoint, rookies can be your best performers!

Anyone can be a rookie, even the most veteran employee, because it’s not about age but about cultivating a mindset.  The author draws on extensive experience, even her own personal career experience, to explain the different modes of the rookie mindsets:

  • Backpacker:  unencumbered and open
  • Hunter-Gatherer: alert and seeking
  • Firewalker: cautious and quick
  • Pioneer:  hungry and relentless

The book also explains the best situations to leverage rookies for company success.

Professionals interested in revitalizing their career and leaders who wish to harness the power of the rookie mindset in their organizations will want to read this book.  Buy it now.
