How we can use the hiring process to bring out the best in people | Gil Winch | TED Talk

In the TED Talk “How we can use the hiring process to bring out the best in people,” psychologist and entrepreneur Gil Winch explains that traditional job interviews are often biased and stressful, which can obscure a candidate’s true potential. Winch suggests a reverse screening process that assesses a candidate’s potential by interviewing candidates at their best, rather than their worst. To achieve this, interviewers should create a relaxed and welcoming environment, discuss topics that candidates are knowledgeable and passionate about, and assess skills in everyday life situations. This strategy can also be applied for a remote working position. We learn that by the hiring and selection of individuals who might be overlooked, companies can benefit and transform people’s lives.
