Ok be honest, candidates. I really love this set of questions, I’ve been considering shifting my current interview style to these questions - I think they really give you an idea of who this person would be within the work setting. But the questions almost feel too deep for a recruiter to ask. What would you think if a recruiter took a different path and asked these questions instead of the usual ones?

If our jobs weren't necessary, we wouldn't have jobs. I worked on a project last year that created a system that would make sure a patient wouldn't receive medications that reacted poorly with each other. Sure, I didn't use a scalpel to save a life, but someone sure as shit benefited from my work.
What we do is important. I used to think it was just kool aid but our clients I have found really can't do what we do. Employees don't have the skills or are lazy and are not willing To put in the work. We also get to a point through experience that we can do it quicker but we build expertise so we do save clients money. Depending on your sector such healthcare, power and utilities, oil and gas, we are helping clients fix something that has a direct impact on us as consumers like electricity or electronic health records so Dr's have real time access to data. It might not always be exciting, the downstream impact might not be noticeable to everyone all the time but what we do does help. In my early days I used to minimize what we do, but now I don't.
Well all those real world skills jobs are being outsourced and H1B'ed, so I'm happy with my "non-profession"
^ 🤔 um... Lol.
D1, I really don't think doctors and engineers working at the forefront of technical advances will be outsourced anytime soon. I do agree, however, that low skilled jobs are definitely getting automated and/or outsourced but that's a different topic.
Perhaps agree with pure play strategy work, but the depth we bring in technology and generally a matrix with industry knowledge, we bring to bear significant knowledge and capacity around transformative initiatives to clients that are better suited for BAU. Not many here are generalists, most bring deep perspective in industry and / or specific competencies.
Not sure, but I do think there are too many consultants out there selling BS and not driving real change. I've seen it myself.
It depends on the space of consulting @OP. Sadly, I've seen a lot of (not all) people in consulting have no actual skills after 10+ years in the industry. They know how to BS and make pretty decks, but when it comes to them actually getting some work done - they don't know much. Reminds me of those retail. I think that's why it's important to pursue certifications, training and specific experienced to build a toolkit for yourself.
Can you define "real world skills"?
The doctor skills are being outsourced to robots. Check this out https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/sep/10/robot-eye-operation-world-first-oxford-john-radcliffe?0p19G=c
Patience is a virtue, and a life skill. Seems pretty real world to me. That, and being armed with the knowledge that most things in the world are about 10x more fucked than they appear. When it comes to problem-solving at scale in the future, it's definitely worth it to know what (and who) to ask to get down to core issues.
