Most companies boast that they hire the best people. So, how does it happen that you often come across less than stellar colleagues and wonder how on Earth they got hired? Well, scientific research proved that interviews predict only about 30% of successful job performance. This means that out of 100 people who performed well in the interview and subsequently were hired, only 30 performed well in the job. That means that there is not even a 50-50 chance of picking the right candidate. It’s really like shooting in the dark. Nonetheless, the employers place their faith into their gut feelings and into interviews.
