"The resume wasn't the problem."
A hiring manager rejected a candidate because the resume looked "average."
Three months later...
That same candidate joined a competitor.
Today, they're leading one of their highest-performing teams.
Here's what caught my attention.
Research from Google and other workplace studies has consistently shown that structured interviews are better predictors of job performance than unstructured resume-based screening alone.
A resume tells you where someone has been.
A conversation tells you where they can go.
That's why we spend more time understanding:
Communication
Problem-solving
Ownership
Learning mindset
Sometimes the best candidate simply isn't the one with the prettiest resume.
They're the one who performs.
