Interviewing: The Quest for Patterns and Themes
Last week, two seemingly unrelated articles caught my attention. The first was a magazine obituary on C.K. Prahalad, the management thinker best known for his work on core competencies. The article spoke extensively of his ‘big ideas’ and noted his habit of traveling the world “prying useful information out of everyone he met…always looking for connections and patterns, hoping to predict change”.

Checkers vs. Chess: Why Most Candidates Play The Wrong Interview Game…and Pay the Price !
I often join my clients when they conduct candidate interviews. I moderate, participate, listen and learn. They are fascinating glimpses into how candidates and companies alike play the complex game of talent acquisition. Each time without exception, I observe competent candidates eliminated from contention, not because they are less qualified than the others, but because they misunderstand the very nature of the contest itself. As a result, they come unequipped to win.
