By the time the hiring team gathers, "the conversation might have happened two-and-a-half weeks ago, and the person doing the interviewing might have [unorganized notes] to jog their memory," Theodore Chestnut, co-founder of people analytics startup BrightHire, tells Inc. "After all the time and effort we put candidates through, do we really feel prepared to make a sound, fair decision?"
Questions like those have helped turn people analytics into a booming industry. The concept: Apply evidence-based practices to the squishy realm of management. In BrightHire’s case, that means helping interviewers organize their questions to ensure topic coverage and prevent overlap. It also creates recordings of interviews that can be searched and analyzed--to assess the performances of both the interviewees and the interviewers.
