Hello carmaz:

and improve your organizations corporate culture in the process<
This is not new and it is not enough. Employers need to hire for competence, cultural fit, and job talent. If we ignore any of the three, we increase the risk of hiring unsuccessful employees.
Most all employers do a good job of hiring for competence but fewer do a good job of hiring for cultural fit. Very few do a good job of hiring for talent since very few hiring managers know how to identify or measure the talent that is demanded by the job that needs to be filled.

Thank you for the comments Bob, and I do agree that cultural fit alone is not enough, the article is writen to explain new "Methods" of including cultural fit, not to replace competencies.
If you say the psychological game playing method is not new to identifying cultural fit, please do enlighten me where we can get more information on this. I am only familiar with the DC Psychology Interveiw kit as the only one that uses this method. see it at: DC Psychology Interview Kit > Selection > Recruitment > Motivational Fit > Cultural Fit > Identifying Leaders |

| | Behavioural Event Interviews
Hey,
You may want to go through this document that I have compiled out of some online research and resources that I have accumulated.
This is on competency based interviewing or BEI ( behavioral event Interivews.
The premise is that asking questions to invoke past expereinces results in an more accurate indicator of future performance.
Have a peek,
Regards
Kenneth

I also hope the culture in my company will change as soon as some old employees resign. We need new people and contribute a better culture. |

Hello ivyleauge:

That may be a very long wait I'm afraid. Managers tend to hire and promote the people they like whether or not they'll become good managers and executives in the future.

Hello carmaz: >Thank you for the comments Bob, and I do agree that cultural fit alone is not enough< Great minds... >the article is written to explain new "Methods" of including cultural fit, not to replace competencies.< But is hiring for cultural fit new? >If you say the psychological game playing method is not new to identifying cultural fit, please do enlighten me where we can get more information on this.< I'm questioning whether or not game playing is the best method for selecting future employees. >I am only familiar with the DC Psychology Interview kit as the only one that uses this method.< If we only do interviews, we risk not hiring the best employees. I found the following text in the subject document to be incorrect. "And what about psychometric tests? Well, anyone (well anyone reasonably intelligent) that has taken one before will be able to skew the results to suit the job description." The above is not true for all psychometric assessments. "So are there interview questions or tests that can give you greater insights into the real performance of an individual once he/she gets into your organisation? Well, NO!" The above is also not true for all psychometric assessments. It seems the document ignores whole person psychometric assessments.
