"People are an organization's most valuable asset. Hiring top talent derives from an effective interview and vetting process. Early in my career, I relied heavily on assessing a candidate's previous employer references and education match. This heavy focus caused me to miss an opportunity to weigh their experiences or analyze how they executed their work. My team collaborated and made changes to the interview and qualifying process to improve our results. We learned that asking better questions would help us better assess candidates. We worked together to come up with deeper interview questions to help us make more informed hiring decisions."
