Can we just get rid of the typical job interview?? I feel like we would all benefit from just having a conversation about the position and the candidates skill set/experience w/o all the behavioral questions crap!

Unless you’re giving them a test or asking a bunch of technical questions, how are you going to determine their skill set? If a test or these questions aren’t included in the typical interview process, I feel like the behavioral questions could be amongst the most insightful so that I can learn about their thought process, quick thinking and recall abilities, ability to explain situations in a logical manner, etc.

It's important to know the technical skills, but if you don't gel with the team you'll be working with them it will probably be a very short stay in the company. That's where the behavioral questions happen to judge your personality and your soft skills, which are critical in our line of work

How do I leave my role as someone on the talent team. I am on a small recruitment team of only a few people, who connect daily. I am also responsible for sending out updates tracking new hires and upcoming leavers (aka I would be on this list if i decide to leave). If I am looking to leave my company, considering all of these things, how do I do it in the least awkward, most professional way possible? I want to put in at least a two week notice, but will continuing my work after that be weird?

Tough time getting past final step: I’ve been trying to make a career shift for 10 months now and continue to get rejected at the last step. Im confident in the value I can provide and do well at presenting it. However, once it’s comes down to me and 1-2 other candidates, I repeatedly have been turned down for the person who has more relevant experience as they’re a safer bet for the employer. Would love advice from anyone who’s dealt with this before. It’s tough to get them to take a risk on me
