In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Andrew King, Organisational Scientist at Ocado Technologies about the hiring practices they use and how to design the culture you want.
Why listen to this podcast:
• Context effect says that anything that happens in decision making that is altered by the context in which the decision is made
• The compromise effect – when faced with a choice of options we try to avoid the extremes
• These types of effects impact hiring processes and culture design and have to be actively mitigated against
• Design your interviewing questions very carefully to explore the things that will actually help in the decision-making process
• The content of an interview is the candidate’s responses, not the questions that are asked
• To implement effective change, follow the principles rather than blindly following a process
