Interview
The goal of the hiring process is to decide if
you want to hire someone
or not.
Everything else follows.
• The goal is not to make you look good.
• The goal is not to show your intelligence.
• The goal is not to follow rituals.
• The goal is not to appear nice.
Keep in mind: Hiring is also a sales process for your company.
